Michigan Knee & Shoulder Injuries
Compensation for Workplace Knee & Shoulder Injuries
For anyone who earns their living through physical labor, a shoulder or knee injury can be life-changing as well as a source of constant, severe pain. Many people who suffer these injuries do their best to carry on and keep working, uncertain of their futures and the benefits they are entitled to under Michigan workers’ compensation laws. Trying to “work through” a knee or shoulder injury is admirable, but often not very practical.
Workers’ compensation insurance is in place to cover the costs of medical care, lost wages, and vocational rehabilitation. Claiming these benefits is part of your right to just treatment for working hard. To ensure those rights—and your personal and familial well-being—are protected to the greatest possible extent, please contact our knee and shoulder injury lawyer at the Adler Firm, PLLC, in Michigan.
We can be reached online or at (888) 966-9524. The initial consultation is free.

How Can I Tell if My Knee Injury Is Serious?

- You felt or heard a pop at the time of the accident
- You experience swelling or are unable to put weight on your leg
- You have limited range of movement, or greater than usual range of movement
- You are unable to straighten your knee
- You notice a deformity in your knee
