Common questions asked about back injury at work claims

How long do I have to claim a back injury at work settlement?

UK law generally states that a claimant has three years to make a back injury at work claim. However, it does not have to be three years from the incident that caused the back injury. Instead, it’s counted from the date that you were aware of your back injury and that someone else was wholly or partly at fault.

There are other exceptional circumstances where the claimant has longer than three years to make a claim, including where the injured party was under the age of 18 at the time of their injury. The time limit for claims does not count until the injured party turns 18, meaning they’ll have till their 21st birthday to claim.

Am I eligible to make a back injury at work claim?

For a claim to be eligible, the back injury must be caused by third-party negligence or deliberate action.

How much compensation can I claim for a back injury at work?

The amount of compensation that you could be entitled to from your back injury at work claim will depend on a variety of factors, these including:

  • Financial losses due to your injury – where your injury has prevented you from being able to work
  • Expected future financial losses due to your injury – where your injury is expected to prevent you from being able to work in the future
  • Any medical expenses – this includes travel to and from any medical appointments
  • Home modifications – if your injury has required your home to be modified to assist you
  • Pain, suffering, and psychological trauma experienced – this applies both to your physical and mental health
