Secured Settlement After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery and Return to Work.
One strong example of our results is a $50,310 settlement for a client who suffered a shoulder injury while lifting a box at work. After undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery, our client was able to return to work, and we secured a settlement that fairly compensated them for medical treatment, disability, and lost income.
Shoulder injuries are among the most common workplace injuries, especially in jobs that require repetitive lifting, overhead reaching, or heavy manual labor. When soft tissue damage — such as a torn rotator cuff — occurs, it can cause significant pain, limited motion, and extended time away from work. Successfully pursuing a workers’ compensation claim for these injuries often requires proving both the connection to workplace activities and the need for appropriate medical care.
In this case, the legal team at PR&A Law worked closely with medical experts and the injured worker to document the severity of the injury and the necessity of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. Through careful preparation and advocacy, we helped our client secure a settlement that covered surgical costs, post-operative rehabilitation, and compensation for time out of work. Our goal is always to pursue the full benefits available under New Jersey workers’ compensation laws, including medical expense coverage, temporary and permanent disability awards, and vocational support if needed.
