Shoulder injuries can be deceptively disabling. You may not realize how much you rely on your shoulders until every movement—lifting, reaching, driving, or even sleeping—becomes painful.

At Cohan PLLC, we represent people whose lives have been disrupted by severe shoulder injuries caused by negligence. We know insurers often treat these cases as “minor,” but we see the reality: costly surgeries, months of physical therapy, and long-term limitations that can follow you for life. Las Vegas shoulder injury attorney Chasen Cohan builds strong cases to prove the true impact of your injury and fight for the recovery you deserve.

How Shoulder Injuries Happen

Trauma or repetitive strain can cause serious shoulder injuries that affect most aspects of one’s life. But why do these happen, and what are the causes specific to the Vegas area? Understanding these can help paint a picture of who is responsible, which opens the door to the recovery of fair compensation for medical expenses and more. 

Shoulder injuries can result from countless everyday hazards, including:

Las Vegas is built on industries—construction, hospitality, and entertainment—that require physical strength and repetitive motion. From acrobats and dancers in shows at venues along the Strip to workers responsible for building event sets and constructing stands and infrastructure for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, shoulder injuries can occur in a variety of ways.

Las Vegas Shoulder Injury FAQ

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Shoulder Injury?

Recovery varies widely. Some shoulder injuries improve with weeks of therapy, while others require surgery and months of rehabilitation. In some cases, victims never regain full strength or mobility.

Why Do Insurers Downplay Shoulder Injuries?

Insurance companies often view joint and soft tissue injuries as minor. In reality, shoulder injuries can require surgery, repeat treatment, and job restrictions. A lawyer can work to prove their seriousness in order to pursue the full value of your claim.

Can I Work with a Shoulder Injury?

Many shoulder injuries make lifting, reaching, or repetitive motion impossible. If your job involves physical labor—or even desk work—restrictions may force you off the job temporarily or permanently. 

Do Shoulder Injuries Often Require Surgery?

Rotator cuff and labral tears frequently require surgical repair, followed by therapy. These procedures are costly, which is why insurers try to undervalue claims.

What Compensation Can I Expect for a Shoulder Injury?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury and its effect on your life. Damages may include medical bills, therapy costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Types of Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries are unique and can be complex to treat because they often involve joint, bone, muscle, and nerve damage—and corresponding complications. 

We help clients in Las Vegas, Henderson, Enterprise, and beyond with:

  • Rotator cuff tears requiring surgery
  • Labral tears and instability
  • Dislocations and repeated joint separation
  • AC joint injuries
  • Clavicle and upper-arm fractures
  • Nerve impingement or frozen shoulder

Shoulder trauma often requires long-term therapy and follow-up procedures. We work with orthopedic surgeons and rehabilitation experts to document the full scope of these injuries, as this is a critical part of seeking full compensation for all expenses now and into the future.

Shoulder Injuries from Car Accidents

Car accidents frequently cause shoulder injuries due to seatbelt force, airbag impact, or bracing against a collision. Victims may face surgery, extended time off work, or permanent mobility loss. At Cohan PLLC, we don’t let insurers dismiss these injuries as minor. Our trial-ready approach ensures your claim reflects the full cost of care and recovery.

Our representation offers numerous advantages:

  • We understand the medical complexities of joint injuries.
  • We show how shoulder injuries limit independence and daily function.
  • We take on insurance companies that minimize soft tissue claims.
  • We prepare every case for trial, giving clients leverage for real results.
