Shoulder pain pump injury merits a lawyer
You say you went to the hospital for help — and you left the hospital not healed, but hurt?
Chances are you’ve had arthroscopic shoulder surgery, during which a shoulder pain pump was improperly inserted into your shoulder.
Ideally, a shoulder pain pump should deliver pain-easing narcotic medication to the shoulder after surgery in small, intermittent doses. Due to manufacturer design defects and improper directions to physicians, some shoulder pain pumps, when inserted directly into the shoulder joint, can cause cartilage deterioration and, ultimately, severe chronic pain.
For many sufferers of shoulder pain pump defects, the only way to avoid such debilitating pain and suffering is to get costly shoulder replacement surgery. But this cost should not be borne by the individual sufferer, who also is likely to lose present and future wages as a result of his or her shoulder injury.
Rather, such costs should be borne by the manufacturer whose negligence caused their shoulder injury. And that’s why sufferers should alert an experienced shoulder pain pump lawyer or attorney.
Such a shoulder pain pump lawyer can fight to gain full and fair financial compensation for a shoulder pain pump injury. Otherwise, such financial recovery is not likely to come. Instead, an insurance company may balk at paying the full medical bill, much of which may go to the innocent sufferer, who also suffers financial hits in other ways, such as lost wages.
A shoulder pain pump attorney can ensure this does not happen, instead holding accountable the manufacturer whose mistakes caused their suffering, which often takes the form of postarthroscopic glenhumeral chondrolysis (PAGCL). This condition leads to such deterioration of the shoulder joint cartilage that the shoulder’s bones grind painfully together, making it hard for the sufferer to sit or stand.
Among those who are responsible for these injuries are manufacturers Stryker Corp. and I-Flow Corp. The makers of anesthetics used in their pain pumps also may be liable.
