Frozen shoulder (£6,000 ~ £9,700)
You could be awarded between £6,000 and £9,700 as compensation for suffering a frozen shoulder injury from work.
A frozen shoulder is a painful condition where the shoulder becomes stiff. This happens when the tissue around the shoulder becomes inflamed and begins to harden. The frozen shoulder injury will generally last for 2-4 years, but treatment and surgery can be sought to treat the pain and limited movement. A frozen shoulder can develop following an injury to the shoulder or from surgery negligence.
Rotator cuff injury (£6,000 ~ £14,600)
You could be awarded between £6,000 and £14,600 as compensation for suffering a rotator cuff injury from work.
The rotator cuff is the group of tendons and muscles that hold your shoulder and arm together. A tear to the rotator cuff can leave your shoulder feeling very painful and weak. The pain can sometimes be felt down your arm, making it very difficult to sleep at night. Rotator cuff injuries can be suffered during car accidents and are common workplace injuries.
Dislocated shoulder (£9,700 ~ £14,600)
You could be awarded between £9,700 and £14,600 as compensation for suffering a dislocated shoulder injury in an accident.
A shoulder dislocation is when your upper arm pops out of your shoulder socket. A dislocated shoulder is one of the most common shoulder injuries and can happen simply by falling heavily onto your arm. If the dislocation damages the lower part of the brachial plexus, then you could be entitled to compensation.
Broken collarbone (£9,700 ~ £14,600)
You could be awarded between £9,700 and £14,600 as compensation for suffering a broken collarbone injury in an accident.
A broken collarbone can also be known as a clavicle fracture. This injury can be caused by breaking your fall using an outstretched hand or arm. The most common causes for this injury include slips, trips, falls and road traffic accidents.
Brachial plexus injury (£10,600 ~ £36,500)
You could be awarded between £10,600 and £36,500 as compensation for suffering a brachial plexus injury from a shoulder accident.
Brachial plexus injury can also be known as brachial plexus lesion. The brachial plexus is a group of nerves responsible for the control and feeling of the hands, arms and shoulders. Shoulder injury damage to the brachial plexus can cause lack of feeling, weakness and pain in the shoulder region. Compensation can exceed the stated bracket for serious brachial plexus injuries for symptoms such as arm paralysis.
