When your job is physically demanding, shoulder, knee and joint injuries are a very real possibility. A dislocated shoulder, a rotator cuff injury, bursitis, a broken collar bone, a meniscus or ACL tear, and strains and sprains are some of the many common injuries experienced by construction workers, factory workers, and others who do physical labor.
While people in labor-intensive professions are the most at risk, anyone can hurt themselves in a trip, slip, fall, or other accident and damage the shoulders, knees, and joints of the body. Injuries of this nature can be painful, affect mobility, and impact your ongoing ability to work. An attorney can provide guidance to those who experience injuries and need assistance getting benefits so they can heal and provide for themselves and their families.
