$300,000 Settlement for Clients Undergoing Shoulder Arthroscopy After an Accident

At Cohan Law Firm, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective representation for those injured due to the negligence of others. Recently, we secured a $300,000 settlement for two clients who each underwent shoulder arthroscopy following a rear-end car accident. This settlement reflects our commitment to achieving justice and fair compensation for our clients.

Understanding Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder joint issues. During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint through a tiny incision. This allows the surgeon to view the joint on a screen and perform necessary repairs using small instruments inserted through additional incisions.

Common reasons for shoulder arthroscopy include repairing torn rotator cuffs, removing inflamed tissue, and fixing ligaments. While less invasive than traditional open surgery, shoulder arthroscopy still involves a significant recovery period, during which patients may experience pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

The Pain and Suffering Experienced by Our Clients

Our clients were involved in an accident that left them with significant shoulder injuries, severely impacting their daily lives. The pain and limited range of motion made it difficult for them to perform basic tasks, enjoy recreational activities, or fulfill their work responsibilities. After consulting with medical professionals and exploring other treatment options, the decision was made for both clients to undergo shoulder arthroscopy.

Despite being a minimally invasive procedure, shoulder arthroscopy requires a challenging recovery process. Both clients faced post-surgical pain, swelling, and stiffness, requiring them to wear slings to immobilize their shoulders during the initial healing phase. Daily activities were further complicated, and both clients had to rely on others for assistance.

Physical therapy played a crucial role in their recovery, helping them gradually regain strength and mobility in their shoulders. However, the process was physically demanding and emotionally taxing, as progress was often slow and painful.

Securing a $300,000 Settlement

Understanding the physical and emotional toll the accident and surgeries took on our clients, we worked tirelessly to build a strong case. We gathered evidence to demonstrate the negligence of the at-fault driver and the extensive damages our clients endured.

The $300,000 settlement we secured reflects the seriousness of their injuries and the financial burdens they faced. This outcome covers their medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for their pain and suffering, providing them with financial security and peace of mind.

Conclusion

While no amount of money can fully erase the pain and challenges faced by our clients, the $300,000 settlement offers a sense of justice and the means to move forward after their car accident. It underscores the importance of having experienced legal representation to navigate the complexities of personal injury claims.
