Regardless of how your back injury occurred, If it’s affecting your ability to work, we can help you get the compensation you’re entitled to on a no win no pay basis.
Generally, back injuries are actually a very common type of injury in the workplace as there are many reasons for the injury or pain in your back. Back injuries often happen as a result of sudden movements, bumps, knocks or falls. Any damage to the bones, vertebral discs, tendons, muscles and ligaments that make up your back can result in pain in your back.
Injuries to your back vary in seriousness depending on the cause of injury and what damage made. Minor back injuries are classified as strains to your back muscles, pulled muscles, torn tissues and bruising. Major back injuries include fractures, open wounds, extensive bruising and damage to your spinal cord and/or internal organs.
If you have suffered a back injury resulting from the negligence of others, or unsafe work conditions it’s possible that you are eligible to claim compensation for your back injury.

Is my back injury serious enough to warrant a claim?
If you’re wondering whether yours is a serious injury, the information below may help answer your concerns. Your injury may qualify if:
- You have ongoing treatment or undergone long treatment
- your injury has meant long or ongoing hospital visits
- you’ve had to take a long period off from work
Money alone can’t make up for what you’ve been through, but it can help recover your life. If someone else was at fault, for your suffering then you may also be entitled to a range of other compensation claims.
What could your compensation cover?
- Care and support given to you professionally or by family and friends
- Loss of amenity, such as the impact on recreational activities
- If your performance at work were impacted by your injury
- Any future handicap in obtaining new job opportunities
- Welfare costs
It can be difficult to tell if your injuries qualify or not. If they do we might be able to help you claim on a no win no fee basis.

- Pain and suffering
- Lost earnings
- Loss of future earnings
- Medical expenses
- Travel expenses
- Other financial costs
- Lifestyle changes
- Impact the injury has on your life
