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