Rotator Cuff Injuries in the Workplace

Your rotator cuff is comprised of four muscles and tendons, located in each shoulder. These structures stabilize the shoulder and facilitate movement; however, they are easily injured. Some examples of rotator cuff injuries include strains, tears, bursitis, and tendinitis. If you’ve sustained these types of workplace injuries near San Jose, it’s advisable to contact a workers’ compensation attorney to discuss your financial losses and your legal right to seek compensation.

Your lawyer can help you understand the applicable workers’ compensation laws in your state, and he or she can review your case to determine if an acute or chronic rotator cuff injury could be eligible for workers’ compensation.
