Neck Injury at Work - Compensation Claims
Claim compensation for your neck injury at work
Many people have suffered accidents at work and have sustained neck injuries as a result.
The extent of the injuries for which claims are pursued varies tremendously from injuries of the utmost severity for example, leading to quadriplegia, to prolapsed discs or damage to the soft tissues – tendons, ligaments or muscles.
Having a pre-existing condition does not necessarily preclude a compensation claim. Compensation can be sought for an aggravation or acceleration of the neck injury symptoms as a result of an accident.
Neck injuries are commonly caused by falls, tripping or slipping accidents or by manual handling tasks in the work place.
