CONSTRUCTION WORKER SHOULDER INJURIES

Rotator cuff tears and torn ligaments are among the shoulder injuries that can affect New York construction workers.

The shoulder has a greater range of motion than any other joint in the human body and is actively involved in many on-the-job physical tasks performed by construction workers. Therefore, when a construction worker suffers an injury to his or her shoulder, the effects can be life changing and possibly career ending. If the shoulder injury victim is unable to recover the full use of the affected arm, he or she may be facing long-term disability.

Slip and fall accidents on New York construction sites and other situations that result in a direct blow to the shoulder can result in serious shoulder injuries for a construction worker. While some shoulder injuries are relatively minor and involve only bruises and contusions, others are more serious and require extensive medical care, physical therapy, and surgery in order to heal correctly. If you are a construction worker who has suffered any of the following types of shoulder injuries on the job, you may be entitled to compensation.

• Rotator cuff tear
• Torn ligament
• Torn shoulder muscles
• Dislocated shoulder
• Fractures
• Separated shoulder
• Impingement

A shoulder injury may also involve other complications, including nerve damage and chronic pain.
