Securing a Torn Rotator Cuff Settlement

Experienced Lawyers Can Win a Settlement After a Serious Injury Like a Torn Rotator Cuff

We often hear from people who have been seriously injured at work. For instance, they might have a torn rotator cuff or a slipped disc, and as a result, their doctor has referred them for surgery, such as a shoulder replacement or spinal fusion. Understandably, these prospects are terrifying, especially for someone who has done heavy-duty work for most of their life.

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.
