Tireless Advocacy In Workers’ Compensation Claims
Shoulder injuries may require extensive medical treatment, including surgery and physical therapy. Even after treatment is complete, you may never regain full function of your shoulder. Michael Schultz handles workers’ compensation cases involving a wide range of shoulder injuries, including:
- Bursitis
- Tendinitis
- Dislocated shoulders
- Rotator cuff injury
- Nerve damage
Even if your injury is part of a pre-existing condition, but your job duties exacerbated the condition, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. With more than a quarter of a century of experience in workers’ compensation law, Michael Schultz knows how to protect your rights and get you the compensation that you need. From filing the initial claim to fighting denied or terminated claims, he will work hard for you.
Did You Know? Permanent Upper-Body Limitations Qualify For SSDI.
Do you have a shoulder injury such as a rotator cuff tear or nerve damage, or a shoulder joint replacement? If it has permanently limited your upper-body movement, you might need to seek additional benefits outside of just workers’ compensation.
For older individuals or blue collar workers, a workplace injury can make returning to a career impossible. Under federal rules, severe limitations may qualify you for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) vocational allowances. You can work with our workers’ comp and SSDI attorney to help you structure your injury claim so that your workers’ compensation settlement does not offset your federal benefits. This is crucial to secure the maximum benefits available to you.
