Attorney Representation in Phoenix, Arizona Since 1996

Why do Insurance Companies Deny that Rotator Cuff Injuries Occur from Arizona Automobile Accidents?

Insurance companies try to deny claims of rotator cuff tear injuries after automobile accidents in Arizona. The insurance companies very often try to avoid payment to an individual who has suffered a rotator cuff injury by using a host of different excuses. One thing some insurance companies will do when someone suffers a rotator cuff tear injury from an automobile accident or trucking accident in Arizona is point to medical literature that states that rotator cuff tear injuries are most commonly caused by repetitive motion. In other words, rotator cuff injuries are most often caused by repetitive use where individuals do the same motion over and over again. The insurance company researches and finds published medical reports that state that rotator cuff injuries usually come from repetitive motion, not a traumatic event such as a car accident or trucking accident.

As personal injury lawyers in Arizona, we have represented many clients who have suffered from rotator cuff injuries as a result of traumatic injury such as a car crash. We see rotator cuff injuries over and over again from automobile accidents, trucking accidents and other accidents as well. We have seen in these circumstances that when there is an outstretched hand or some other unusual twisting movement, the rotator cuff can often be torn. As accident and injury attorneys representing individuals who have rotator cuff tears, it is important to look beyond just the legal aspects of the claim, and understand the medical aspects that will be confronted by the client as well. It is through a lot of experience and knowledge on rotator cuff injuries that we are able to argue with the insurance company that a rotator cuff tear can often be caused by a traumatic event.

The same is true when presenting a case in front of a jury. As lawyers, we must use our knowledge and experience to demonstrate to the jury that when a rotator cuff tear is suffered by someone under 60 years old, the medical literature actually shows that a traumatic injury like an accident is the most likely cause. In those cases, we obtain the medical evidence from treating doctors or expert medical witnesses, allowing us to fight for our client and demonstrate the actual case of the rotator cuff tear related to the underlying car accident.

It is very common that insurance adjusters deny these types of claims as being related to the auto or trucking accident. The job of the insurance adjuster is to avoid paying fair compensation in all of these claims, or at least as little compensation as possible. On the other hand, the job of experienced personal injury lawyers in Phoenix is to do everything possible to make certain that fair compensation is given to the person who has a right to recover monetary damages for the medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of ability to do daily activities, and all the other factors that have impacted the injured victim’s life due to the negligence of another individual. Of course, it is unfortunate that people who are legitimately hurt by the negligence of another individual have to retain a lawyer, but otherwise they will seriously risk obtaining an amount of compensation that does not fairly reflect their personal suffering. It is almost always better to consult a lawyer before settlement, and often it is better to consult sooner rather than later. With regards to those who have sustained a serious injury like a rotator cuff tear necessitating surgery; it is probably more likely that you do need an attorney as you will be facing the causation of the injury being disputed by the insurance company or defense corporation. As a victim who has sustained a rotator cuff tear injury, we recommend speaking to a lawyer as soon as possible.
