Hi! It's Mike Bruno and I'm with the Charles Boyk Law Offices in Toledo, Ohio
and we're here to talk a little bit about shoulder injuries
in automobile accidents. Now most people
when they get in car accidents think of the back and the neck being primarily
injured. But we have a number of cases where
the shoulder is involved. That could be the right shoulder or the left shoulder.
Sometimes it is a direct trauma from perhaps an airbag.
Sometimes it's the bracing of the steering wheel that results in the
shoulder becoming
jammed. But in these cases it's very important
that if you feel any symptoms in those shoulders
to go to the hospital. Go to your doctor to get checked out.
Don't be afraid to talk about what you're feeling.
These are very, very fact specific cases
and when we take clients on in these cases if the client hasn't seen an
orthopedic surgeon yet it's our goal to get them into the orthopedic surgeons
office
for an MRI and perhaps even a surgical consult.
So, again if you've
got any symptoms occurring in either shoulder following a car accident it's
very important that you go into the doctor
and then call us at the number showing at the bottom of the screen.
Thank you.
