CTP Claim for type 3 AC joint separation
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2018 4:59 am
just had a crash 3 weeks ago, was riding down the road @45km/h, im an experience cyclist i know when can go fast and when to be careful. was bright daylight and road was clear, and this car from opposite direction decided to turn right without looking. Taken to hospital with Mercedes. result in an Rockwood type 3 AC joint separation, all 3 ligaments are torn, calf muscle injury and multiple cuts, i can tell ya it was painful as hell!
hospital didn't wanna surgery fix and sent me home, it's been 3 weeks now i am still in pain, and i have very limited movement range of my shoulder and very weak arm. i've already filed in a CTP claim for immediate economic loss. I've claim for my medical expenses, lost of income and stuff... however the doctor believes my shoulder will be permanently deformed, the injured shoulder will be lower than the other with a lump of bone poping out. and i'll never recover to the full motion range/strength. however doctor also reckon i may never notice the lost of range/strength unless i am a sports professional like a basketball/tennis player or weight lifter.
so no matter what there is permanent damage, will i be able to claim for lump sump compensation? i mean whats the use of paying for just my medical cost and income, when my shoulder is (AT)#$%ED, already put on 3KG in 3 weeks cos lack of physical activities. now im stuck with permanently deformed and weak shoulder, i used to be quite fit! and do u guys got any idea how much will the claim be? i must need a lawyer for this but just need some ideas
