Construction Accidents and Injuries: Shoulder Injuries

New York construction accidents are not uncommon, and many accidents result in worker injuries. One of the more common construction accident injuries involves the shoulders. Our shoulders provide the most range of motion than any other joint in our body and is necessary for many of the tasks construction workers perform on a daily basis. If you experience a construction shoulder injury, you may find yourself unable to return to work or unable to recover full use of your shoulder which can result in a long-term or permanent disability.

Shoulder Injuries

Some shoulder injuries, like sprains or bruises, are not life changing and simply need a little time to heal. But there are many types of shoulder injuries which affect New York construction workers that can require extensive surgery, medical care, and long term therapy to heal. Still other shoulder injuries will never heal completely, which can put construction workers out of a job.

Common types of construction accident shoulder injuries include:

• torn ligaments
• rotator cuff tears
• shoulder fractures
• dislocations
• torn shoulder muscles

Shoulder injuries from construction accidents may also create additional complications which make it difficult to work or maintain the same quality of life, including chronic pain and nerve damage.
