We have worked on a number of back injury at work claims. Here are some of the back injury settlements we have won:
Our client, an HGV driver, was preparing to deliver kegs and cases of beer when some empty kegs fell off his truck onto his back, causing him to fall to the ground. Our client injured his lower back which accelerated symptoms of osteoarthritis by around 3-5 years and placed him at a disadvantage on the labour market. He also suffered blunt trauma to his head. Due to his injuries, he was unable to return to work as an HGV driver and had difficulty driving in general. Liability was admitted by the defendant and a back-injury settlement was agreed at £60,000.
Our client, a delivery driver, sustained a back injury at work when he had to climb up the side of his truck to load it despite numerous requests for a step. As he climbed up to the back of the truck he slipped and twisted his back and sustained a soft tissue injury. He took two days of work as he required help with domestic tasks. However, as an agency worker, he was required to take these two days off as annual leave. After this incident, our client contacted us, and we were able to secure him £3,522 in compensation.
