Securing a Torn Rotator Cuff Settlement
Yes, you can win a workers’ comp settlement after a serious injury like a torn rotator cuff—especially with the right legal team on your side.
We regularly help people who get hurt on the job and are now facing surgery. Maybe it’s a torn rotator cuff, a slipped disc, or another injury that’s keeping them from doing the heavy-duty work they’ve done their whole lives. When your doctor says you need surgery—like a shoulder replacement or spinal fusion—it’s overwhelming. You’re in pain, out of work, and unsure how to move forward.
That’s where we come in. We guide injured workers through the process, protect their rights, and fight for the full benefits and settlement they deserve.
In the best-case scenario, they can still play with their grandchildren. However, in the worst-case scenario, the surgery doesn’t work, leaving them in pain and debilitated long-term.
Given these possibilities, neither outcome sounds appealing, and many people are unsure of what they need. To be completely transparent, we’ve seen the worst happen. While every surgery carries risks, not all surgeries are successful.
For example, a seriously injured worker we recently represented underwent shoulder surgery. Fortunately, with rehab, he was back to work within six months. On the other hand, we have also seen cases where spinal fusions or shoulder replacements required a second surgery or, unfortunately, led to chronic pain.
