Back Injury At Work: Compensation Claims
No Win No Fee Personal Injury Solicitors
Back injuries can occur in any working environment: warehouses, building sites, even offices.
In many cases, a common cause of injury can be from regularly lifting heavy objects – especially if the victim has received insufficient or incorrect health and safety training. For back injuries, poor manual handling can lead to lifelong complications.
Badly designed office workstations can result in posture problems, leading to painful and debilitating back injuries. These can worsen if not diagnosed and treated properly and promptly.

Employers must provide adequate training for their employees to complete their duties safely, and in some cases, employers should implement safety measures to prevent harm to their employees. This applies to all sectors, regardless of the industry.
If you suffer a back injury at work, the incident should be logged by your employer and reported.
Back injuries often come to light later down the line. It is important that you seek appropriate medical help and keep a record of your symptoms, particularly in relation to repetitive motion injuries.
If you’ve been the victim of back injury that was not your fault, you could be eligible to claim compensation for:
- the injury itself
- medical costs
- loss of earnings (including bonuses)
- ongoing future care needs (if required).

Claiming Compensation For A Back Injury At Work
All companies must by law have Employer’s Liability Insurance if they employ one or more people.
This insurance protects the employer against any claims made by employees for injuries or serious illness at work.
So, compensation for a successful claim will be paid by the insurer, rather than your employer directly.
Causes of workplace back injuries include:
- lifting or dragging heavy, bulky or cumbersome objects
- repetitive tasks such as packing products
- long distance driving (especially if the seat is not adjusted correctly)
- repeated or excessive bending, crouching or stooping
- repeated or excessive stretching, twisting or reaching
- slipping or tripping over hazards (such as spilt liquids or loose wires)
- inadequate lighting which makes it difficult to see potential hazards
- aggravation of a pre-existing back condition.
