A back injury claim is one of the most common forms of personal injury cases that no-win, no-fee solicitors handle each year. Back injuries can happen for a wide-range of reasons, but often these injuries are obtained at work. If you think your employer was negligent in some way that directly lead to your injury, your back injury claim should be successful. When you are at work your employer is compelled by the law to ensure your working environment is safe. They do this by regularly carrying out what is called a risk assessment. The assessment is designed to identify hazards, and where reasonable, put in place systems to ensure accidents are avoided. Your back injury claim could be based on an area of your workplace that wasn’t assessed. It is important to understand the difference between a simple accident that could result in a back injury, and negligent behaviour that leads to a back injury. A no-win, no-fee solicitor can explain the differences to you.

The important factor to bear in mind with these types of accidents is that your back injury claim must be the direct result of some form of negligence. For instance, if you fell down the stairs at work and injured your back because of loose carpets; this could be deemed a negligent act on the part of your employer and would give your back injury claim excellent grounds for compensation.

Solicitors that can handle these types of cases will contact your employer’s insurers, as your employer should have insurance to cover them for these types of claims. Your back injury claim will be straight forward if you can show with evidence that negligence took place, and that this negligence was the direct cause of your back injury. If your evidence is strong, your solicitor should be able to negotiate for the level of compensation you are looking for.
