Everyone will suffer some sort of back pain in their lives, but a work-related back injury can be very debilitating. In some occupations like gardening and nursing, back injuries occur because of the cumulative result of years of bending and lifting. In other cases back injuries may occur as the result of an accident in the workplace.
Injured your back at work?
If you are suffering from a back injury sustained at work and which was not your fault you may be able to make a
personal injury claim. We can deal with your case and have expert solicitors nationwide ready to act on your behalf.
There are many specific causes of back injuries:
- Frequent lifting and carrying of objects
- Lifting and carrying heavy objects
- Prolonged periods of physical activity without sufficient rest periods
- Poor supervision and training
- Bad posture and badly designed office chairs
- Poorly designed and maintained manual equipment
- Insufficient breaks for sedentary office workers
- Use of heavy vibrating machinery
- Pressure to carry out a task quickly and frequent bending and stooping
Common Back Injury Claims Include:
- Factory workers who have suffered crushing back injuries when they have been working with heavy machinery without proper protection or supervision

- Victims of road traffic accidents, particularly accidents where the impact was to the side or rear of their vehicle.
