QUEENS CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER EXPLAINS YOUR RIGHTS TO COMPENSATION AFTER A SHOULDER INJURY FROM A CAR ACCIDENT
One of the most common types of personal injuries after a motor vehicle accident is a shoulder injury. A shoulder injury from a New York car accident could result in months or even years of treatment, stretching, and physical therapy. Individuals who suffer shoulder injuries may be unable to continue in the same line or work while they heal resulting in lost wages. Additionally, individuals may be unable to use their shoulder in the same manner after they heal due to permanent injuries. This could result in a claim for lost future earnings due to be unable to return to the same line of work and having to take a salary decrease in a new field. Thus, individuals who suffer a shoulder injury from a New York car accident may be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
One of the most common injuries for an individual who suffering a shoulder injury from a New York car accident is an arthroscopic surgery. Also known as a scope, there are over 1.77 million scope surgeries performed each year in the United States. Many of these scope surgeries are due to personal injury accidents, including car accidents.

HOW ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERIES CAN HELP A SHOULDER INJURY FROM A NEW YORK CAR ACCIDENT
A scope surgery is known as an arthroscopic surgery and is an important type of procedure used to treat certain conditions. A shoulder injury is a good candidate for a scope surgery. During a scope surgery, the surgeon will make several small incisions around the shoulder including the front, side, and back. The surgeon will place several different tools and a camera into the different incisions to perform the repair. Sometimes a surgeon will use forced air to inflate the surgical area to help visualize the area being repaired. Because of the minimal cuts and intervention, victims who have a scope surgery usually heal must faster than individuals who have had an open surgery.
