$1,000,000 for Shoulder Impingement Settlement – 2025

On March 14, 2023, our client was driving west on State Road 70 in Manatee County, Florida, when the unexpected happened. A driver waiting at a stop sign on 1st Street pulled out without warning, forcing our client to swerve. Despite her efforts, her car collided with the other vehicle and flipped onto its roof. Emergency responders had to cut her out of the car, and she was rushed to the hospital.

At the hospital, our client was diagnosed with upper and lower back injuries, post-concussion syndrome, and significant shoulder damage, including a severe shoulder impingement injury. As the pain persisted, she began working with a pain management specialist. MRIs of her neck, back, left shoulder, and left knee revealed extensive damage, leading to multiple injections and ongoing treatment.

When her back pain didn’t improve, a neurosurgeon recommended surgery. She first underwent an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, but the pain returned quickly, requiring a follow-up posterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Throughout this process, the injuries, including her shoulder impingement, continued to limit her daily activities and caused ongoing discomfort.

After recovery, our team pursued compensation from the defendant’s insurance carrier, who initially tried to offer far less than the $1,000,000 bodily injury policy limits. We pressed the insurer, and once they realized litigation was imminent, they agreed to pay the full policy limits. This settlement allowed our client to cover her medical bills, ongoing therapy, and begin rebuilding her life after a serious accident and debilitating shoulder impingement injury.

$150,000 Shoulder Impingement Settlement Amount – 2023

On July 19, 2022, our 34-year-old client, who worked for an excavation company, was driving south on Tamiami Trail when another driver negligently turned directly into his path, causing a collision. The other driver was cited by police for improperly changing lanes and pulling out in front of our client.

Soon after the accident, our client began experiencing pain in his neck and right shoulder. He sought treatment at a nearby clinic, and after therapy, an MRI revealed inflammation, bursitis, and a possible tendon tear in his shoulder. Due to ongoing pain, he was referred to an orthopedic surgeon, who recommended arthroscopic surgery to relieve the shoulder impingement injury. The surgery was successful and helped alleviate his pain.

We then prepared a detailed demand package seeking compensation from the defendant’s insurance company. The insurer initially argued that the side-impact collision could not have caused a shoulder injury. We countered by highlighting our client’s lack of prior shoulder issues and that his pain started immediately after the accident. After negotiations, the insurer agreed to pay $150,000, a settlement that reflected the severity of his shoulder impingement injury and left our client very satisfied with the outcome.
