Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

A soft tissue injury can occur in almost any workplace, from offices and factories to outdoor jobs. However, employers have a responsibility to protect their employees against such injuries where possible. Where this protection is inadequate, soft tissue injuries can be the result.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your soft tissue injury claim, whether your injuries are minor or major. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to an 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 Soft Tissue Injury Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity

If you have suffered a soft tissue injury at work, whether it will heal in a relatively short time or affect you for longer, Irwin Mitchell is the perfect partner to have on your side.

Our industrial injury specialists will talk through the details of your accident with you and, if we can prove it was caused by negligence on the part of your employer, we’ll help you to make a soft tissue injury claim.

Most commonly soft tissue injuries at work occur when a worker is working on machinery, doing a manual handling job, or has a slip or trip.  These accidents can result in:

  • Body parts coming into contact with machinery or blades
  • Joint sprains
  • Dislocations
  • Muscle, tendon or ligament damage
  • Back problems

Our experienced personal injury lawyers have experience in every aspect of manual handling injuries and relevant safety guidelines. If your place of work did not adequately comply with health and safety regulations and this resulted in a soft tissue injury at work, you may be entitled to compensation.

Primary School Teacher Suffers Severe Head Injuries On A School Trip

Our client, Mrs M, went to check on the children just before midnight on the night of the incident. Another member of staff from the school group was locked out of her room and Mrs M offered to find the duty member of staff from PGL Limited to get a spare key.

When Mrs M failed to return, her concerned colleagues went to look for her. They found her confused and injured with cuts and bruises to her arms and legs. She told them that she had fallen down some stairs that were unlit and not visible in the dark, but that she had no other memory of the fall.

After the incident had been reported, Mrs M was taken to a hospital where she was treated for soft tissue damage to her back, shoulder and arms, a broken wrist and a chipped shoulder.

However, Mrs M continued to suffer severe pain and began to develop problems with her eyesight and an inability to recognise words and letters. A brain scan showed that she had fractured her skull and had severe brain damage.

Her injuries meant that Mrs M was unable to continue with the career she loved and her lifestyle was completely changed.

Despite issues with liability, with the help of Irwin Mitchell solicitors, Mrs M received £300,000 in compensation from PGL Limited. This result will help to significantly improve her lifestyle and ease her financial worries, enabling Mrs M to focus on her recovery.
