What Is A Shoulder Injury Claim?
A shoulder injury claim lets you seek compensation if your injury was caused by another party’s negligence. This includes accidents at work, road traffic accidents, slips in public spaces such as Manchester Piccadilly Gardens, or medical negligence at hospitals like Manchester Royal Infirmary. You could be entitled to claim for pain, suffering, loss of earnings, and treatment costs. Your eligibility depends on showing that a duty of care was breached and this directly resulted in your shoulder injury. Relevant evidence includes medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.

You could be entitled to claim compensation for a shoulder injury if you suffer harm due to another party’s negligence. Typical accidents resulting in shoulder injury claims include:
