Clavicle fractures are among the most common acute shoulder injuries, and more than 80 percent of them can be managed conservatively.

Common acute soft tissue injuries include shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and sprains.

Shoulder injury claims can result from car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall accidents, and workplace injuries and can involve:

• Rotator cuff injuries – requiring rotator cuff tear surgery
• Muscle tears
• Dislocated shoulders
• Injuries requiring arthroscopy surgery

Sometimes a shoulder injury claim can be for the acute, permanent pain caused by the user of a Shoulder Surgery Pain Pump.  A shoulder pain pump is a medical device designed to deliver medication to a patient experiencing shoulder pain after arthroscopic surgery. With a shoulder pain pump, a catheter is placed in the patient’s shoulder joint, and medication is infused by the pump through the catheter into the joint for two to three days. Unfortunately, the use of a shoulder pain pump has resulted in permanent cartilage damage and pain to some patients.

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive way to treat a damaged or painful joint such as a shoulder, hip, or knee. With an arthroscope, an incision less than a centimeter is made, and surgical instruments such as an endoscope can be inserted through the incision. Arthroscopic surgery can be a very beneficial treatment, and it is performed widely in the U.S. for shoulders affected by severe arthritis and other problems.

After a patient’s arthroscopic surgery on a shoulder, the significant pain that is often experienced has sometimes been treated with a disposable shoulder pain pump. It’s put in place when the patient is discharged after surgery, and it’s removed when the pain medication is no longer needed.

These pumps have been used after arthroscopic shoulder surgery in many patients in the U.S., and some of these individuals have developed a condition called “postarthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL)” that is traced to the use of one of these shoulder pain pumps.

PAGCL causes the destruction of the shoulder joint’s cartilage. It develops months after the use of a shoulder pain pump. PAGCL is a very painful condition for which there is no consistently successful treatment. It often leaves a patient with permanent pain in his or her shoulder.

If you have used a shoulder pain pump and you’re experiencing shoulder pain or stiffness, a decreased range of motion, or clicking, popping or grinding of the shoulder, contact William Muhr, LLP to discuss your circumstances. You may be entitled to money for your pain and suffering.

A spinal cord injury is a catastrophic injury that causes damage to the spinal cord, resulting in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling.

A spinal cord injury can be caused by trauma (automobile accident, gunshot, other accidents, falls, etc.) or disease (polio, spina bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, etc.). This type of injury is very different from other back injuries such as ruptured disks, spinal stenosis or pinched nerves and may result in paralysis below the site of the injury.

There are two types of spinal cord injury: complete and incomplete. A complete injury means that there is no function below the level of the injury; no sensation and no voluntary movement. Both sides of the body are equally affected. An incomplete injury means that there is some functioning below the primary level of the injury. A person with an incomplete injury may be able to move one limb more than another, may be able to feel parts of the body that cannot be moved, or may have more functioning on one side of the body than the other.

A disc herniation can be caused by a serious accident or a fall, or with aging.

When a spinal disc herniation occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra, the spinal disc, is pushed outside its normal position, or is ruptured. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched, resulting in acute pain or, sometimes, difficulty urinating or having bowel movements. You should see a doctor immediately if you have been in an accident and experience numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, or have difficulty going to the bathroom.

Motor vehicle and traffic accidents are the leading cause of serious traumatic brain injury, such as a skull fracture. Falls and assaults are the next leading category.

In the majority of these cases, the injured person is not to blame for the injury. In most cases, the person or persons liable for a head or brain injury is the individual or company directly involved with the accident and their insurance carrier.

Over 1.4 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) every year. Of those, 50,000 die and over 200,000 need hospitalization and/or brain injury treatment, and many experience altered or lost functional ability.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that, in the United States, there are currently 5.3 million individuals suffering from a traumatic brain injury that will have life-long effects. The emotional distress, physical challenges and financial burdens that these victims and their families face are beyond what they ever could have predicted.

Possible causes of a traumatic brain injury are everywhere, especially due to automobile accidents. One cannot predict or plan for a life changing event such as a traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, many individuals do not have the resources that it would take to make normal life possible after a brain injury.

• Severe TBI can cause death, coma, permanent vegetative state, chronic under-arousal, serious disorders of swallowing or communication, seizures, storming, muscle paralysis, muscle spasticity, abnormal bone growth, apathy, disinhibition, dementia or psychosis.
• Moderate TBI can cause substantial lifetime impairments of cognitive, visual, motor, emotional, social, sexual or vocational functioning with ongoing need for home assistance, job assistance and therapies.
• Mild TBI causes headache and subtle decrements in attention, memory, information processing speed, information synthesis, organization and task execution associated with anxiety, depression, irritability and lost self confidence. 

Consult William Muhr, LLP immediately if you or your loved ones have been in an accident and have head/brain injuries.

Back and neck pain can be caused by trauma due to an accident or a bad fall, and can be caused by a herniated disc or a spinal cord injury, whiplash, or other types of injuries.

A  Back or Neck Injury is damage to the spinal cord that may result is loss of mobility or feeling. Back or neck injuries have severe emotional, social and physical effects. According to The National  Back or Neck Injury Association, over 250,000 Americans are living with spinal cord injuries and approximately 11,000 people sustain new spinal cord injuries every year.

Most spinal cord injuries occur through auto accidents, gun shots, sports accidents, falls and industrial accidents. There are different levels of back and neck injuries and numerous treatment options for victims. While spinal cord injuries are traumatic, with treatment and counseling people with spinal cord injuries lead happy productive lives.

Spinal cord injuries typically leave victims and their families confused and isolated with massive medical bills and extraordinary changes in everyday lifestyle.

You can bring a wrongful death claim against a person who can be held liable for a death. This type of claim is brought in a lawsuit, usually by close relatives. The person can be held liable for negligence or other type of unjust action.

Proof for a wrongful death in the United States is typically "preponderance of the evidence" as opposed to "clear and convincing" or "beyond a reasonable doubt." Therefore it is often easier for a family to seek retribution against someone who kills a family member through tort law rather than criminal prosecution. Tort law defines what constitutes a legal injury and establishes the circumstances under which one person may be held liable for another's injury. Torts cover intentional acts and accidents.

Over the years, states have passed wrongful death laws that provide compensation for persons who may have been damaged from the death of the victim.

A fracture in this context is the breaking, or local separation of a bone, into two or more pieces due to severe stress, such as an accident.

They occur when the physical force exerted on the bone is stronger than the bone itself. Your risk of fracture depends, in part, on your age. Broken bones are very common in childhood, though children's fractures are generally less complicated than fractures in adults. Older people, whose bones are more brittle, are more likely to suffer fractures from falls that would not affect younger people.

Fractures in the legs, knees and feet can lead to lasting pain and neurological effects long after the fracture itself has healed. Medical treatment and a complete course of therapy can alleviate these effects, but first you must get a proper diagnosis and have access to the right doctors.

We can help fracture injury victims get the treatment, therapy and medical services they need to recover to the greatest extent possible.

Post Traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emotional illness that develops as a result of a terribly frightening, life-threatening, or otherwise highly unsafe experience.

PTSD sufferers reexperience the traumatic event or events in some way, tend to avoid places, people, or other things that remind them of the event, and become extremely sensitive to normal life experiences. PTSD has only been recognized as a formal illness since 1980.  It is often seen in soldiers after or during a war, or in private citizens when they have been seriously injured in an accident.

According to a new book published by published by the American Psychological Association (APA), motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are considered the leading cause of posttraumatic stress disorder in the general population; car accidents are the number one trauma for men and the second most frequent trauma for women.

You are responsible for the costs of your medical treatment.An attorney can, however, negotiate with health-care providers that they will be repaid from the proceeds of your claim when a settlement is reached. Doctors are likely to cooperate better when their bills are paid, and usually doctors will agree to an arrangement where they are paid from the settlement.

Paying medical bills from the proceeds of the case helps the victim of an accident in two ways: first, the doctor will not start collection proceedings for unpaid bills; second, the doctor is more cooperative. Doctors help convince the insurance company, judge, and jury of the severity of a victim's injuries and need to be compensated.

Consult William Muhr, LLP if you are an insured person hesitating to get medical treatment because you are unaware of your rights.

Scars, sometimes resulting in disfigurement, may occur when a person has been in an accident, or has been attacked by an animal or another person. This form of personal injury is usually permanent, often resulting in lawsuits started by the victim.

Although most facial injuries are not life-threatening, they are definitely life-changing.  In addition to the emotional damage and the loss of self-esteem these injuries carry, scarring and disfigurement may require numerous corrective medical procedures in the future such as:

• Reconstructive surgery
• Plastic surgery
• Skin graft operations
• Surgical removal of scar tissue build-up 

If you or a loved one has suffered facial scarring and disfigurement from deep cuts, crushed bones, or burns as the result of an explosion or fire after an automobile accident, call William Muhr, LLP immediately.
