Miami Car Accident Lawyer for Shoulder Personal Injuries and Insurance Claims for Compensation

Suffered a shoulder injury in a car accident either as a a driver or a passenger in Miami? If so, the Perazzo Law Firm shares valuable insight for dealing with shoulder injuries in car accidents. Shoulder injuries as a result of a car accident can affect the driver as well as passengers. Even though seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from suffering severe head injury, many times they do not fully protect car accident victims from suffering shoulder injuries, especially when there is a collision that takes place at high speeds or involves larger vehicles such as SUVs and trucks. A head-on collision can cause the body to jerk forward and put a lot of pressure on the upper body as a result of the seat-belt preventing the accident victim's body from being propelled out the front windshield. When this happens, the upper body, especially the shoulders absorb most of the impact. This can sometimes lead to a broken shoulder, collarbone, or clavicle. A broken shoulder, collarbone or clavicle from a car accident can have a serious impact on the accident victim's physical well-being as most often the injury will require medical attention that can include surgery and rehabilitation. Shoulder injury can occur when the tendons that cover the shoulder joint are torn or overstretched as a result of the impact from a car accident. Car accidents that lead to a broken shoulder can involve one or both of the two bones located in the shoulder; the scapula or the humerus. These bones connect to the collar bone, which can most often suffer a break as a result of severe impact in a car accident.
