Secured Settlement After Rotator Cuff Surgery and Successful Return to Work.
PR&A Law secured a $50,310 settlement for a worker who suffered a shoulder injury while lifting a box on the job. The injury required rotator cuff surgery, and the client was ultimately able to make a successful return to work following recovery. This result highlights the firm’s ability to obtain fair workers’ compensation settlements for employees injured in everyday workplace tasks.
Shoulder injuries from lifting and repetitive motion are common in many work environments and can lead to significant pain, limited mobility, and the need for surgical intervention. Rotator cuff tears often require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and time away from job duties. Achieving a settlement that accounts for these impacts is critical to ensuring injured workers receive compensation for medical treatment, wage loss, and recovery time.
In this case, PR&A Law worked closely with the injured worker to document the cause and severity of the shoulder injury, the need for rotator cuff surgery, and the client’s progress through recovery. By thoroughly preparing the claim and advocating effectively with the workers’ compensation carrier, the firm secured a settlement that reflected both the medical and financial implications of the injury.
