SOLVING PERSONAL LEGAL MATTERS

What is a Back Injury?

Back injury refers to any harm caused to the bones, muscles, or nerves in the back region. This type of injury is commonly caused by sudden impact, slips, trips, or falls.

What is a Back injury claim?

A back injury claim is a legal process in which an individual seeks compensation for the harm caused by a back injury. The compensation amount may cover the medical expenses, loss of earnings, and other damages incurred due to the injury.

Back injuries as a result of a trip or slip
Victims being struck by a falling object

Pulled muscles
Slipped or prolapsed discs

Accidents at work

A vast majority of back injuries sustained at work are a result of employees moving or lifting heavy objects without the appropriate training or machinery to assist them. If your employer fails to provide you with machinery to move objects such as a palette or forklift truck or fails to provide you with the appropriate training to lift these objects and you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation.

Road traffic accidents

Road traffic accidents contribute to a great deal of back injuries, and is something the expert solicitors at Forbes have a vast amount of experience in. A road traffic accident can leave victims in serious distress as the emotional scarring associated can also be debilitating. When a back injury is added, this can all seem completely overwhelming, but the expert personal injury solicitors at Forbes can help you claim the compensation you deserve.

Make a claim

A back injury can lead to long term suffering, rendering a victim unable to work or go about their day as they normally would have. With this in mind, if you are injured as a result of someone else's negligence or are injured in an accident you deserve compensation, as this can help cover any medical costs and help to recover any loss of finances.
