Manual Handling Accident Claims

An injury as a result of manual handling is common in the workplace where heavy machinery and big, bulky items are handled as part of a person's job. As manual handling solicitors, we are experts when it comes to a manual handling injury at work and believe that if the correct safety procedures were not followed and a worker has suffered an injury as a direct result of this, then they should be entitled to compensation. A manual handling injury can have a huge impact on a person's day to day life and with manual handling making up for 40% of all workplace injuries, our personal injury team are experienced in processing and winning these particular cases. If you have experienced a manual handling injury, contact Forbes Solicitors today, where we can deal with your claim on a no win, no fee basis.

If your employer has failed to follow the correct health and safety procedures in the workplace, and you have been injured as a result, then you should really look into manual handling claims. Manual handling injuries can be devastating. Some of the most common injuries suffered in the workplace as a result of manual handling include:

• Strains and sprains
• Cuts, bruises and broken bones as a result of handling heavy machinery incorrectly
• A hernia due to heavy lifting
• Slips, trips and falls
• Occupational Overuse Syndrome (OOS) due to persistent heavy lifting, perhaps over a number of years.

Although common, manual handling injuries should not be overlooked and if you have experienced any of the above (or another injury), then know that Forbes Solicitors are here to help you get the compensation that you are entitled to. Your employer has a duty to ensure that your risk of injury at work is minimal and that all manual handling tasks are performed safely, with the correct training in place where necessary. If you suffer manual handling injuries as a result of a negligent employer, then you deserve to be compensated. A manual handling injury can often have a huge impact on a person's life and a pay-out in compensation can ensure that they're covered significantly for a loss in earnings, they're helped with the expense of medical bills and travel for medical appointments and they receive the right counselling or otherwise for helping deal with the trauma of an accident.
