What is a frozen shoulder compensation claim?
A “frozen shoulder” or “adhesive capsulitis” – is the medical name given to a shoulder joint that has lost a significant amount of its range of motion in all directions.
If someone (including businesses and public bodies) is legally at fault for your injury – you may be able to make a frozen shoulder compensation claim.
In other words – a claim for compensation for the pain and suffering your frozen shoulder has caused you plus compensation for any financial loss and expense you have experienced as a direct result of your injury.
You Must Every Aspect Of Your Claim
Watch out – the burden of proof is on you and your solicitor to prove each aspect of your claim. Therefore – you must not only prove legal fault, but also the extent of the pain and suffering you experience plus all financial losses
What types of accident can cause a shoulder injury?
Several types of accident are known to cause frozen shoulder injuries, including:
Workplace frozen shoulder injuries
Injuries to the shoulder often occur during manual handling at work. Excessive pressure is placed on the shoulder joint when lifting heavy objects by hand, especially of unusual shapes.
In addition, if the space afforded a worker is cramped and the objects are moved from awkward positions extra pressure can be placed on the shoulder joint.
Workplace Manual Handling Example
For example – imagine your job is to load potatoes from a conveyor belt at waist height into large sacks. When the sacks are full you seal them and put them into crates. After the crates are full – you stack them onto a pallet on the floor behind you. It is easy to see how you can receive an injury to your shoulder from a combination of the weight, the twisting motion, the awkwardness of the sacks, the varying heights and the continuous nature of the work.
Road traffic accidents
Frozen shoulder injuries commonly occur in motorcycle accidents – especially as you will often put your arm out to break your fall when you are knocked off your motor bike.
Car accidents too can cause frozen shoulder injuries – when you hit your arm in a collision with another vehicle.
Slip and trip accidents claims
It is instinct when you fall to put your hand out to break your fall. Very often your shoulder will be injured and often this injury may lead to a frozen shoulder.
How does you solicitor calculate how much compensation you can claim?

- Secondly, comparing the shoulder injury as described by the medical report with similar injuries decided by the courts in the past.
- Thirdly, considering judicial guidance.
- Finally, compiling a schedule of all the financial loss and expense you have incurred as a direct result of your frozen shoulder injury.
