About This Condition

Understanding Shoulder Pain After Car Accident

Shoulder injuries from car accidents are common but often overlooked in the initial aftermath when neck and back pain dominate attention. The shoulder is a complex joint vulnerable to injury from the forces of a collision — especially from seatbelt restraint, bracing against the steering wheel, or direct impact. Common accident-related shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, AC joint separations, and shoulder impingement.

Legal Context

Michigan Law & Your Shoulder Pain Claim

Michigan is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays for your medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum PIP coverage in Michigan is $50,000 (or unlimited), which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Michigan is 3 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. Michigan uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in Michigan and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
