What is a Back Injury?
Anybody who has suffered a back injury will understand how restricting and painful it can be. A back injury can come in many forms, ranging from:
- Frozen shoulders
- Sprains
- Torn ligaments
- Fractures
With the back forming the core of the body, a back injury can prevent you from being able to do the simplest of tasks and disrupt your everyday life. These types of injuries are commonly cited in back injury claims, especially when they occur at work or due to someone else’s negligence. A back injury can take a long time to recover from, leaving people out of work and needing daily care and assistance. Unfortunately, the effects of some back injuries can be permanent and life-changing, sometimes leaving you in chronic pain or paralysed.
Common causes of back injuries
Back injuries tend to go hand in hand with physical activity. Any occupation that requires heavy lifting may cause muscle tears or strains. There is also the possibility of suffering a back injury by falling from height or being struck by heavy machinery. These incidents often lead to back injury claims, especially when workplace safety protocols are not followed. This type of injury is also commonplace in road traffic collisions as well as contact sports.
If you have suffered damage to your back due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation and should speak with a legal professional experienced in handling back injury claims.
What can I be compensated for?
General Damages
General Damages cover the physical and emotional effects of your back injury, including pain, suffering, and loss of amenity. This compensation reflects how the injury has impacted your quality of life.
Special Damages
Special Damages account for the financial losses you’ve experienced as a result of your back injury. This can include loss of earnings, medical treatment costs, therapy, travel expenses, and damaged property. These losses must be clearly linked to the accident and supported by documentation such as receipts or payslips.
