Soft Tissue Injury At Work Claims 

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.

£7,000 Compensation for Back Injury at Work

One of our specialist work injury lawyers, Neil Wilkinson, recently secured compensation for a man who suffered back injury at work.

Mr Corr slipped at work on a staircase leading from the cellar whilst carrying a 14 pound gas cylinder, causing a minor fracture to his vertebra, and soft tissue damage which lead to him having 3 months off work and his ability to participate in sports was restricted.

It was discovered that the staircase leading from the cellar was wet and slippery. The stairs had no grips or anti slip surface with no railings. The steps were also different distances apart.

A back injury claim was issued and served against The BOC Group PLC in Newcastle upon Tyne County Court.

Mr Corr recieved £7,000 in compensation for his back injury at work.
