Workers' Compensation Claims for Knee and Shoulder Injuries
Because so many jobs require lifting, squatting and repetitive movement, knee and shoulder injuries are a common form of work-related injury. Workers' compensation claims for knee and shoulder injuries are complex in nature because the employer may present a number of possible defenses.
An employer may claim that your injury was not the result of work-related conditions. Proving the cause of an injury and its connection to work-related activity is essential to a worker's ability to recover medical benefits and wage benefits. An employer — or their workers' compensation insurance company — may admit the cause of the injury but attempt to limit the amount of benefits you receive by downplaying the degree of your work impairment.

Compensation for Pre-Existing Injuries
Many workers do not obtain the benefits they are entitled to receive by law because they do not understand their rights. Employers may provide employees with incorrect information. For example, if you have been told that you are not allowed to receive workers' compensation benefits because you had a pre-existing knee or shoulder injury, you have been misinformed.
Workers may receive benefits if a pre-existing injury has been aggravated by a work accident or repetitive stress caused by their job. To find out more, speak with an attorney at our firm.
