A shoulder injury after a car accident isn’t always exactly what it seems. It can be very hard to diagnose, for reasons that you may not feel pain immediately in your shoulder It may present initially and even for months afterward as neck pain. Often, following an accident, an injury victim will complain of severe pain in one or both shoulders. An X-ray or MRI will actually reveal that the pain is the result of a neck or back injury, which results in referred pain in the shoulder area. Many accident victims don’t feel shoulder pain for several days, weeks or even months following a car accident, only to discover that the injury actually occurred in another part of the upper body. If you are experiencing shoulder pain following a car accident, it is important to have your doctor check for injuries to other areas of your back, neck and head.

They may not pinpoint the diagnosis right away, but if the records are clear that you were complaining of pain in that area of your body, it will give you a better chance at proving your claim to the insurance company, judge or jury.

Shoulder injuries after a car accident occur regularly. Why? The seatbelt is made to protect you in case of an accident. It prevents mobility and is meant to keep you in place. In an accident, the pressure and force that is applied to your body from the seat-belt can reach staggering numbers, which in turn can cause the shoulder injuries.
