Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Employers have responsibility to protect the health and safety of their employees at work and minimize the risk of neck injuries. Where this protection is inadequate, workers can suffer neck injuries.
Neck injuries can vary significantly in severity. Whilst some may resolve within a few weeks, other neck injuries can be far more serious and long-lasting.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your neck injury compensation claim, whether your injuries are minor or major. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a neck injury at work, 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 Neck Injuries At Work With Expertise And Sensitivity
If you have suffered a neck injury as a result of an accident at work, you may be entitled to compensation.
Irwin Mitchell have a wealth of experience in handling work-related accidents with a team of specialist solicitors who can help you with a claim if you have suffered a neck injury at work.
A large number of workplace injuries are neck injuries, most commonly caused by:
- Falls in tripping/slipping accidents
- People injured by falling objects
- Inappropriate manual handling
The extent of neck injuries varies tremendously, leading on different occasions to:
- Paraplegia or quadriplegia (insert link to spinal cord injury at work page)
- Prolapsed discs
- Damage to soft tissues; tendons, ligaments or muscles
Many people think that if they have had problems with their neck previously, they won’t be able to make a neck injury claim. However, whilst you can’t claim for a neck injury if there are no additional symptoms, you can claim for:
- An existing condition that has been aggravated
- Symptoms that otherwise would not have developed for years, but have now been brought forward.
