We understand the pain and stress sustaining shoulder injuries can cause. You may be unable to work or need time to recover in hospital – in some cases, the injuries can be life changing. That’s why we’ll work in the way that’s best for you, whether this is visiting you at home or in hospital, meeting in a local office, or working remotely via phone or video call.

Our in-house coordinators are trained, clinical specialists who can help you to access the help you need, whether this is financial, emotional, or medical.

If your shoulder injury has stopped you from being able to work, you may be entitled to claim means-tested benefits. Our Welfare Benefits team can help you to find out what you could claim and help you to claim it.

We can set up a personal injury trust for you, which keeps your compensation separate from your other finances. Doing this stops your compensation from being factored into calculating your benefit entitlement, making sure that you can still receive means-tested benefits.
