What Our Clients Say
Why Shoulder Injuries Can Be So Damaging
The shoulder is one of the most mobile and complex joints in the human body. It's composed of bones, tendons, muscles, and ligaments that all need to work together seamlessly. When trauma disrupts this delicate balance, it can result in:
Severe pain and inflammation
Long-term loss of range of motion
Permanent disability or weakness
Inability to lift, carry, or perform daily tasks
Chronic discomfort even after surgery or therapy
Some shoulder injuries require months of physical therapy. Others require surgery and permanent lifestyle adjustments. No matter the severity, these injuries often prevent people from working and earning an income—especially in labor-intensive jobs.
Common Causes of Shoulder Injuries in Personal Injury Cases
If your shoulder was injured due to someone else’s negligent or reckless actions, you may have the right to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. At Carrollton Injury Law, we handle a wide range of accident types that often result in shoulder injuries, including:
Car Accidents
High-speed collisions and even low-impact crashes can force your upper body violently forward or sideways, leading to dislocations, fractures, or soft tissue injuries.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Falls on wet floors, icy walkways, or uneven surfaces can cause people to land hard on their shoulders or brace themselves with an outstretched arm, resulting in fractures or rotator cuff tears.
Workplace Accidents
Construction workers, warehouse employees, and others in physical jobs are at higher risk of lifting injuries, repetitive stress trauma, and crush accidents.
Truck and Motorcycle Accidents
These often involve high-force impacts, leading to more severe orthopedic injuries including multiple shoulder fractures or torn labrums.
Premises Liability Accidents
Unsafe property conditions—like broken stairs or unmarked hazards—can lead to falls and impact injuries.
Types of Shoulder Injuries We Handle
Our legal team has experience with a variety of complex shoulder injury cases, including:
Rotator Cuff Tears – Often caused by sudden trauma or repetitive motion; may require surgery.
Dislocations – Can lead to chronic instability if not treated correctly.
Fractures – Collarbone, scapula, and humerus fractures can severely limit mobility.
Labral Tears – Damage to the cartilage that stabilizes the shoulder socket.
Tendonitis and Bursitis – Inflammation that causes chronic pain, often due to repetitive stress.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – A painful condition that significantly reduces mobility.
Nerve Damage – Can result in weakness, numbness, or long-term impairment.
Each of these injuries can affect your ability to work, play sports, care for your family, or live without pain. Our job is to help you recover financially so you can focus on healing physically.
How Carrollton Injury Law Helps Shoulder Injury Victims
At Carrollton Injury Law, we take a personal approach to every injury case. We don’t hand your file off to a case manager or treat you like a number. From your first call to the final settlement or verdict, you’ll get compassionate, experienced legal guidance that puts your recovery first.
Here’s how we support your case:
1. Immediate Investigation
We gather evidence quickly—photos, accident reports, witness statements, and medical documentation—to build a strong foundation for your claim.
2. Working with Medical Experts
We coordinate with doctors, orthopedic specialists, and physical therapists to understand the full extent of your injuries and future care needs.
3. Calculating Full Damages
Shoulder injuries can result in long-term consequences. We help calculate not just current losses, but future medical care and diminished earning potential.
4. Negotiating with Insurance Companies
Insurers are motivated to settle fast and cheap. We don’t accept lowball offers—we push for fair compensation and take your case to trial if needed.
5. Keeping You Informed
We communicate clearly, consistently, and often. You’ll never be left wondering what’s going on with your case.
What Compensation Can You Pursue?
Shoulder injuries often come with steep financial costs, and insurance companies are quick to undervalue claims. At Carrollton Injury Law, we fight to help you recover maximum compensation for:
Medical bills (past and future)
Surgical costs and physical therapy
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Long-term disability or permanent impairment
Loss of enjoyment of life
We take the time to fully document how the injury has affected your life, work, and relationships—and we don’t back down from insurance companies who try to minimize your claim.

What to Do After a Shoulder Injury
If you suspect a shoulder injury after an accident, your steps in the hours and days afterward can significantly impact your recovery and your case:
Seek medical care immediately. Don’t “tough it out”—get checked by a doctor or go to the ER if needed.
Follow all treatment plans. Delayed or inconsistent care can be used against you by insurers.
Take photos of visible injuries. Document swelling, bruising, slings, or braces.
Keep records. Save medical receipts, work absence notices, prescriptions, and notes from physical therapy.
Contact a personal injury lawyer. The sooner we get involved, the better we can protect your rights and your claim.
Don't Let the Insurance Company Decide What You're Owed
Insurance adjusters are not on your side. Their job is to protect their company’s bottom line—not your future. When you face off against them alone, you risk leaving money on the table that you may need for future surgeries, therapy, or disability.
Let Carrollton Injury Law fight for what you're truly owed.

FAQ: Carrollton Shoulder Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a shoulder injury claim in Texas?
Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. That means you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long could prevent you from recovering anything—so speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
What if I had a pre-existing shoulder condition?
You may still have a valid claim. If an accident aggravated or worsened your existing shoulder injury, you can seek compensation for the increased pain, treatment, and impairment. Medical documentation will be critical in these cases.
Will I have to go to court?
Not always. Many personal injury cases settle before trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we are prepared to litigate and represent your interests in court.
How much is my shoulder injury worth?
It depends on many factors, including the severity of the injury, cost of treatment, whether you missed work, and whether you’re expected to fully recover. We’ll work to calculate both economic and non-economic damages and fight to pursue the maximum available under Texas law.
How much does it cost to hire a shoulder injury lawyer?
At Carrollton Injury Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us anything up front—and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
