From understanding your rights to what happens during a claim, our Personal Injury content hub brings together expert insight, practical guides and real client outcomes.
If you’ve had a shoulder injury, it can be life changing for you and your loved ones. Long term medical problems can leave you with a disability, meaning you’re unable to go to work, or to return to the career you had previously. You might be experiencing financial difficulties that impact your lifestyle and your ability to support your family.
If you believe the accident that caused your shoulder injury wasn’t your fault, you might be able to make a claim if it has impacted your life. If you think someone else was fully or partially responsible, our Personal Injury Solicitors could help you to get compensation. We have years of experience getting thousands of pounds of compensation for people with shoulder injuries.
We offer a Free Claims Assessment if you get in touch, and we can tell you if we think you have a claim. We’ll listen so we can understand more about your accident, your injuries and the impact they’ve had on your life.

If your injuries have been especially severe, you might need to make changes to your home or get rehabilitation, physiotherapy and other specialist care. Our nationally accredited lawyers can get you access to medical experts and the best rehabilitation to help you, where possible, get back to the quality of life you had before your injuries.
Here are some of the reasons why you should choose Simpson Millar to help with your injury claim.
We won’t use legal jargon. We can also visit you at home or in hospital (in England or Wales) – whatever works best for you.
We’re members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as well as accredited Law Society solicitors.
We’ll keep you updated at every stage in the process as we begin to gather evidence and work out your compensation amount.
Contact our team of specialist Personal Injury Lawyers. We’ll listen and find out about your injuries and circumstances with our no-obligation Free Claims Assessment.
If we think you’ve got a chance of securing compensation, we’ll get in touch with the other party, to see if they will admit liability for your accident and shoulder injury. This could be your workplace or another firm or supplier. It might be a local authority or business if your accident happened in a public place, or the other party in a road accident.
We’ll start to collect evidence to prove that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence. Evidence could include things like CCTV footage, photos, witness statements or equipment maintenance logbooks if it happened in your workplace. Try and have as much detail as you can when you get in touch with us.
We’ll send you to an independent medical expert, who will examine your injury and assess how it has affected your life. We intervene early if we think you would benefit from rehabilitation. This relieves stress for you, getting you on the road to recovery quickly, while we deal with the legal side of things.
Based on your medical assessment, we’ll work out how much compensation you’re owed and take this to the other party.
Most claims are settled out of Court. If the other party does not accept liability, then the claim may have to go to Court. We’ll keep you informed and provide expert advice throughout the whole process.
If your shoulder injury has had a impact on your life and someone else was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation if your injury is the result of one of the following:
The exact amount of compensation you might get will vary based on a number of factors, and we’ll keep you updated about this throughout the process. It will depend on the severity of your injuries, and to what extent they’ve impacted your life. We’ll also take into account any specialist care or rehabilitation you might need. Over the years, our Personal Injury lawyers have recovered thousands of pounds for people with shoulder injuries.
You have 3 years from the day you were injured to make a claim from the date you were injured.
The works differently if the injured person is a child. If they’re under 18, they cannot make a claim themselves. An adult can claim on behalf of them until they’re 18, at which point the claimant has 3 years.
We will handle your claim on a No Win, No Fee basis. This means that if we don’t win your case, you won’t need to pay us a penny. However, we believe in open communication and complete transparency when it comes to billing our clients, so you will always be aware of what the final bill could be at the end of the process.
We’ve helped recover thousands for people over the years, from accidents at work, road traffic accidents and medical negligence. Here are just a few examples:
A young cyclist suffered catastrophic brain, spinal and other injuries after being hit by an uninsured driver, leaving him with chronic pain, reduced mobility and unable to pursue his planned career as a plumber. Our Road Traffic Accidents team brought a claim against the driver and the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, helping our client access ongoing rehabilitation, treatment and support while seeking substantial compensation for the life-changing impact of his injuries and future needs.
After a devastating e-bike collision left a young rider with a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple life-changing injuries, Simpson Millar's Road Traffic Accidents team secured a £1.25 million settlement. The compensation provides long-term financial security, supports the client's ongoing rehabilitation and future needs, and reflects the lasting impact the injuries have had on his independence and everyday life.
After a young mother was tragically killed in a head-on collision on the A66, our Road Traffic Accidents team helped her ex-husband bring a fatal accident claim on behalf of their two daughters and her estate. Despite the legal and emotional complexities, including dependency claims and court approval for child beneficiaries, we secured a £430,000 settlement to provide long-term financial security and recognise the devastating impact of her death on her family.
