Lifting Injury Claims

Suffered a neck injury, back injury, hernia or shoulder injury from lifting heavy objects at the workplace?  If you have, you may be eligible to make lifting injury claims and seek compensation for the pain and losses that you have suffered.  Manual handling and lifting injuries are common at workplaces in UK, but such injuries are usually preventable.  If the work you are carrying out had been done by mechanical means or if you had received adequate training before carrying out the lifting task, lifting injuries could have been avoided.

If you have suffered injuries at work due to the negligence of someone else, you may be able to make work accident claims.  In the UK, more than one third of all the injuries and accidents that occur at the workplace and require more than two days off work involve heavy lifting and manual handling.  Those who work on construction sites, factories and farms are not the only group of people who are at a risk of suffering from lifting injuries.  Lifting injuries can also be caused at any workplace that involves some form of lifting tasks.  For example, those working in restaurants, schools and shops are also at a risk of sustaining lifting injuries if they are not given adequate training or the necessary tools needed to carry out their tasks safely.

It is not possible to prevent all manual handling and lifting injuries at the workplace, but it is possible to adopt measures to minimise the risks of accidents and injuries.  It is the duty of the employer to carry out risk assessments at the workplace and ensure that employees who carry out lifting work are adequately trained.  If your employer has failed in his duty to provide care and you have suffered injuries as a result of lifting work you are required to carry out at the workplace, you may be eligible to make lifting injury claims.
