Back Injury Claims

Suffering a back injury can have a significant impact on your ability to lead a normal life, including enjoying a decent quality of life and holding down a job. If you have injured your back in an accident and you weren’t responsible, then making a claim can help you to cover the earnings you may have lost out on. The solicitors at Camps can review the circumstances of your accident and provide you with expert legal advice to help you to take your claim forward.

Back injury examples

Factory workers who make back injury claims after suffering crushing back injuries when they have been working with heavy machinery without proper protection or supervision
Construction workers who make a claim if they have received broken bones, neck, leg and back injuries following falls from unsafe scaffolding.
Victims of road traffic accidents, particularly accidents where the impact was to the side or rear of their vehicle may also be able to make a back injury claim.

In any accident you are involved in where you fall or experience sudden violent movement, there is a risk that the muscles and bones in your back will be damaged. People pursuing compensation will often find that their back injuries are both particularly debilitating and that they can have lifelong implications in terms of mobility and the ranges of jobs which they might be able to do. These implications can include permanent disability and loss of movement – as well as a number of other complications and effects reported.

The nerves in the back and in particular the spinal column carry nearly all the electrical signals necessary for sensation and to control the movement of the rest of the body. If these nerves are damaged as a result of being involved in a car crash, a fall from a height such as scaffolding on a construction site or an injury at work then even a partial recovery may take many years.
