Back Injury Claims


Possible Back Injury Compensation Payout £4,000 - £93,000.

Back injuries can range from dull and annoying to screaming for attention pain, making it hard to concentrate on your job. Occupations, such as Construction, Nursing or Factory workers place significant demands on the back. Even routine office work can worsen back pain. But you can avoid back pain and injuries by paying attention to what causes them and focusing on prevention.

Doctors aren't sure about the causes of all Back Injury. Most back problems are the result of a combination of factors. Some factors aren't preventable such as family history. Other factors, such as fitness, weight and flexibility, changes to your lifestyle can be. Some factors are work related and you may or may not be able to modify these to prevent Personal Injury.

There are four Work Related factors that are associated with increased risk of a Back Injury:

  • Force: Exerting excess force on your back may cause injury. If your job is physical in nature, moving heavy objects might increase the likelihood back injury.
  • Repetition: This refers to the number of times you perform a certain type of movement. Repetition of a task can lead to muscle fatigue or injury, if the task involves stretching to the end of your range of motion or awkward body positioning.
  • Posture: This refers to the position your body is in when sitting, standing or performing a task. If, for example, you spend the majority of your time in front of a PC, you may occasionally experience aches and pains from sitting in one position for extended periods of time. On average, the human body can tolerate being in one position for approximately 20 minutes before it feels the need to adjust.
  • Stress: With the pressures today at work and at home this only increases your stress level that can lead to muscle tension and tightness, which may in turn lead it self to back problems and pain.

The lack of training in the work place can lead to injury’s and may give you a claim against you employer.
