Suffering an accident at work can have serious physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Whether you have experienced a minor injury or a serious back injury at work, you may be entitled to make an accident at work claim if the incident happened because your employer failed to keep you safe.

At Aston Knight Solicitors, we specialise in injury at work claims, including back injury claims, and provide expert legal support to help injured workers recover the compensation they deserve. Our specialist approach and commitment to client care is what we call the Aston Knight Difference.

What Is an Accident at Work Claim?

An accident at work claim is made when an employee suffers an injury because their employer did not follow health and safety rules or failed to provide a safe working environment.

Common types of injury at work claims include:

  • Slips, trips, and falls at work
  • Manual handling injuries
  • Back injury at work
  • Falls from height
  • Injuries caused by faulty equipment
  • Construction site accidents
  • Warehouse accidents
  • Repetitive strain injuries
  • Industrial disease claims

Employers have a legal duty to protect staff under health and safety law. If this duty is breached and you are injured, you may be entitled to compensation.

Back Injury at Work Claims

A back injury at work is one of the most common reasons people make an injury at work claim. These injuries often happen when lifting heavy objects, using unsafe equipment, or working without proper training.

Back injury claims may involve:

  • Slipped discs
  • Muscle tears
  • Spinal injuries
  • Long-term back pain
  • Nerve damage
  • Injuries caused by repetitive lifting

Back injuries can affect your ability to work and may require long-term treatment, physiotherapy, or even surgery. Compensation for back injury claims can include damages for pain, lost earnings, and future financial loss.

Because these cases can be complex, it is important to speak to a specialist injury at work solicitor as soon as possible.

Can I Make an Injury at Work Claim Against My Employer?

Many employees worry that making an accident at work claim will cause problems with their employer. In most cases, claims are handled through the employer’s insurance, not paid personally by the employer.

The law protects employees who make genuine injury at work claims, and you should not be treated unfairly for exercising your legal rights.

You may be able to claim compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of earnings
  • Medical treatment
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Travel expenses
  • Future loss of income

Every accident at work claim is different, which is why specialist legal advice is important.
