Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Bursitis is a painful and often debilitating industrial illness that occurs most commonly in the knees and elbows, where it is also known as ‘beat knee’ and ‘beat elbow’.
It has been linked to particular occupations and work activities – and as such, employers have a duty to protect their employees from its effects. Where this duty has been neglected, be it in a current or previous employment, sufferers may be entitled to bursitis compensation.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your bursitis claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to bursitis, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Bursitis Compensation Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that is found where muscles or tendons would otherwise rub on a bone. In bursitis, the bursa swells because of excessive repetitive movement or pressure. It can become significantly more painful if the bursa becomes infected.
Bursitis was once a common condition in miners, whose work involved kneeling and crawling. It may affect those required to kneel or crawl in their work or who apply pressure using their knees or elbow.
If you perform any of the above actions in your job on a regular basis, it is likely your employer should have foreseen that there was a potential risk that could lead you to develop bursitis and taken appropriate steps to protect you. If they have failed to do this, you could potentially make a claim for bursitis compensation.
