Minnesota Shoulder Injury Lawyer

Your shoulder plays an important role in everyday movement and balance. If your shoulder is injured, you will most likely feel radiating pain every time you pivot. You may have trouble writing, driving, sleeping, eating and working.  Often your shoulder will be damaged if you are bracing for impact or if you have fallen directly onto the shoulder.

A shoulder injury will normally result in extreme pain and months of recovery and rehabilitation, especially if surgery is required. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your shoulder injury, we can help. If you have been in an accident due to the negligence or abuse of someone else, then contact McEwen & Kestner, PLLC to discuss your options for financial compensation.
