On-the-Job Shoulder Injuries Qualify for Workers’ Compensation
The sad truth is that injured workers are often ignored. Employers might brush off their injuries. Insurance companies might push them aside. Unless they fight back. Shoulder injuries are some of the most common types of injuries people suffer. If it’s work-related, you deserve workers’ comp.
- Rotator cuff tears
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Arthritis
- Labrum tears
- AC joint separation
- Impingement Syndrome
- Frozen shoulder
- Dislocated shoulder
- Fractured clavicle
- Shoulder sprains and strains
- Nerve compression
In Florida, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, including those with jobs that put workers at risk for shoulder injuries:
- Construction workers who do heavy lifting
- Painters doing lots of overhead work
- Electricians and plumbers working in awkward positions
- Warehouse and factory workers from repetitive strain and lifting
- Healthcare workers who lift patients in and out of bed
- Mechanics and auto technicians who do overhead work
- Landscapers and groundskeepers from repetitive motion and lifting
- Truck drivers lifting heavy cargo
Under Florida law, any employer in the construction industry that has one or more employees, including the business owner, must have workers’ compensation coverage. Any non-construction employer with four or more employees must carry workers’ compensation insurance.
Not sure if your employer has workers’ compensation insurance? We can check.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Clients consistently praise Rosenberg & Rosenberg for their compassionate approach, relentless advocacy, and successful outcomes in personal injury cases.
No, You Can’t Be Fired for Claiming Workers’ Comp
Florida law explicitly prohibits employers from firing workers because they filed for workers’ comp.
Don’t let fear of retaliation jeopardize your benefits. Your employer can’t terminate you for filing.
Here’s what to expect instead:
- Notify your employer of your injury within 30 days. You’ll have two years to file a workers’ comp claim.
- Secure evidence that ties your injury to your job. We’ll help. Eyewitness accounts, incident reports, and medical professionals can connect the injury to your work.
- Get an independent medical exam. The examination will evaluate your shoulder injury and its severity, which will affect your benefits.
- Approval or denial. If the insurance company approves the claim, you’ll get benefits within 21 days. If the insurer denies the claim, we can help you appeal.
Not all workers’ comp claims go smoothly. Some insurance companies make life difficult for injured workers. We’ve been there before and we know how to respond.
Get the benefits you deserve and the care you need for your shoulder injury.
