Compensation For Back Injuries At Work

Although we understand the desire to know the average compensation payments for a back injury at work, every compensation payment is different, and the ranges can be very wide indeed. This is because the compensation you receive is directly related not just to the injuries you have received but also to the impact this has had upon your life.

Compensation claim amounts for all personal injuries (including back injuries at work) are divided into two main parts. The first part of the claim is based on the amount of pain and suffering you have experienced. Because this is such a subjective assessment, there are guidelines put forward by the national governing body (the Judicial College). These give a range of amounts that are usually paid out following each specific injury. The ranges can be very wide, however. This is because they are designed to ensure that the exact nature of your injury can be taken into account. Unfortunately, this can make it very difficult for anyone without experience to know where in that range their injury is likely to fall. Our highly trained personal injury claims solicitors have years of experience in making back injury at work claims and are able to give you an accurate assessment of where in the range your injury is likely to fall.

The second aspect to your back injury at work compensation claim is there to make sure that you are not left financially worse off as a result of your back injury at work. This includes compensating you for any money you may have had to pay out to aid your recovery, such as rehabilitation and physiotherapy, to adapt to the injuries you have, including home modifications in very serious back injuries at work, and also to make sure that you do not lose out through lack of work if you have to take some time off to heal. If you are unable to return to your previous line of work as a result of your injuries, you may even be able to claim for the loss of the potential earnings you could have expected. As may be clear, this can often be the far larger portion of your compensation payment.

It can be difficult to be sure that you are claiming everything that you are entitled to. Our expert back injury at work claims solicitors have years of experience making sure that you are claiming for everything you deserve, giving you the best possible compensation claim to help you get your life back on track following your back injury at work.

Does It Take Long To Make A Back Injury At Work Compensation Claim?

Some cases can be settled very quickly indeed, with many taking just a couple of months and the very fastest needing only a few weeks. For cases to be resolved this quickly, they will usually be for more minor injuries and, therefore, smaller compensation amounts. If you are claiming a smaller amount of money, there is less incentive for the other side to reduce your claim through lengthy negotiations. Personal injury compensation claims that are resolved this quickly as also the ones where the other side accept liability almost immediately, removing the need for evidence gathering and offering proof, both of which take time.

If your personal injury compensation claim is complicated, it can take far longer to be completed. Complicated cases are often those in which it is not obvious who was to blame for your accident, or where multiple different parties share the responsibility. Claims are also usually more complicated if the injuries are very serious, as there may be significant medical evidence to be read and understood before it is possible to agree on a compensation amount.

I Suffered A Back Injury At Work. Can I Claim Compensation?

Many people are confused as to whether they are allowed to make a compensation claim. Compensation claims following a back injury at work are relatively simple, but there are a few things that must be true for you to be entitled to compensation.

The most basic requirement for making a back injury at work compensation claim is that you must have suffered a back injury at work and had some form of damage or loss as a result. Your injury could be either physical or mental, but you cannot make a compensation claim if you have not experienced any negative consequences from your back injury at work. Although experiencing a near miss can be alarming, you are only able to claim for accidents that actually happened, not those which you narrowly avoided.

It is also necessary for someone else to have to been to blame for your back injury at work, for you to be able to make a compensation claim. This person or organisation does not have to have been the immediate or direct cause of what happened, but they do need to have been in some way responsible for your welfare and making sure that you are not put at risk. For accidents or injuries that occur at work, it is very easy to fulfil this criteria, as your employer has a legal responsibility to look after your health and safety.

It is also essential that the other party could have reasonably been expected to anticipate your back injury at work. This is not the same as saying that they must have known that it would happen, but it must have been something that could have been predicted with enough thought and careful attention.

The final requirement is that they must have failed to take enough measures to keep you safe. Even if they have taken some measures, you are still able to claim if these were clearly inadequate.

If you have suffered a back injury at work and you believe that someone else was to blame, we are here to help you put together the best possible back injury at work compensation claim. Call our experienced team of expert personal injury claims solicitors or claim online today to see how we can help.

It can also be worth making sure that you have a note of the names and contact details of anyone who might have witnessed your back injury at work. If there is anyone who can support your description as to what happened, or who can back up your assertion as to who was to blame, this can be an advantage when it comes to making your compensation claim.

If you are able to, it can also be very helpful to collect photographs or videos of the area where your back injury at work occurred. Taking these with your phone, especially if you have some form of geotagging enabled, as this provides additional proof that the pictures were taken when and where you say.
