Back injury compensation after an accident at work
If you have suffered a back injury at work, you could be able to claim compensation from your employer.Work accidents are often caused by negligence on the part of the employer and, if health and safety laws are not adhered to and an accident at work occurs as a result, you are entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
Back injuries are common among construction workers, factory workers and office workers. Farm workers and shop workers are also likely to suffer back pain after standing or bending in one position for hours, without taking proper breaks. Lifting or carrying heavy items can also cause back injury, particularly among manual workers and employees of removals companies.
Employees have a right to proper training in the work place and if your injury has been caused by a lack of training or from poor health and safety procedures at work, you may have a strong case for compensation.
Never feel guilty about pursuing a claim against your employer, as his insurance will cover claims made by employees and you have a legal entitlement to pursue a claim if his negligence contributed to your accident at work.
