Common Workplace Shoulder Injuries
You use the joints, ligaments and muscles in your shoulder every day when you lift, twist and bend. This is especially true for those in occupations that require a lot of manual labor. Unfortunately, many different problems can develop with the shoulder while performing work including:
- Shoulder sprains
- Shoulder strains
- Separation
- Dislocation including chronic dislocation
- Bursitis
- Tendinitis
- Torn rotator cuffs
- Bicep tendon tears
- Frozen shoulders
- Arthritis
- Fractures
In some cases, these shoulder injuries will get better after a little rest, but you may need to miss work during this time or be placed on restricted duty. In other cases, you may need a variety of medical treatments including steroid injections, medication, physical therapy or even surgery or complete shoulder replacement.

Alpharetta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Benefits For Shoulder Injuries
If your performance of your job duties is the cause of a shoulder injury, workers’ compensation benefits will provide you with support after your injury. This is true whether you injure your shoulder in a single incident or whether your shoulder problems develop as a result of repetitive stress over time. The workers’ compensation benefits for a shoulder injury should cover:
- Medical treatment costs including any future medical bills
- Lost wages if you have missed seven or more days of work
- Partial disability benefits if your shoulder injury causes your income to decline due to restrictions placed on your ability to work
- Total disability benefits if your shoulder injury results in you being completely unable to work.
Partial or total disability benefits may be available on either a temporary or a permanent basis depending upon the type of injury that you suffered. In some cases, employers will try to push you into going back to work before you are ready in order to stop paying disability benefits. If your employer tries to limit or deny benefits to you in any way or if your employer denies your workers’ compensation claim, you need to get legal help from an Alpharetta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorney right away.

"Van Sant Law was the right support to call after my car accident with my daughter."They were referred to me by a close friend of mine. Extremely professional, and asked the language I feel comfortable to discuss my case in. Alex Rusanov was my case manager and explained every aspect of my case during the process. I would highly recommend to use this law firm if you were injured in a car accident. Drive safe and stay alert!- Angela

"I highly recommend him as a personal injury attorney."
My attorney, David Van Sant and his law firm were outstanding in handling my personal injury case. I was out of work for a considerable amount of time due to an automobile accident and Mr. Van Sant and his entire team were always kind, professional, knowledgeable and especially available. This law firm did their absolute best to answer and return calls and at no time did I ever feel like just a number or stranger. My experience with Mr. Van Sant and his law firm (from beginning to end), were very positive as well as favorable.
