Work accident claims and MSD

When the fact that a musculoskeletal disorder ranks as the most common form of work injury is considered, making up for 190,000 of 523,000 new cases of workplace ill-health, it is easy to see why there are so many accident at work compensation claims for this category of injury.

The term musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) refers to a type of injury or condition that impacts on the tendons, nerves, muscles and their supporting structures, such as the spine.

No win, no fee solicitors deal with many accident at work compensation claims on behalf of workers with musculoskeletal disorders who suffer from such damage. Commonly, these compensation claimants have suffered their injury as a result of a particular group of muscles or tissues in their bodies being worked beyond their natural capacities.

Accident at work compensation is not the only burden on the economy created by MSD injuries. In addition to accident at work compensation there are also costs to employers, health services providers, the individual worker and the wider economy as a whole to be accounted for.

Some estimates claim that the accident at work compensation cost to UK employers of MSD injuries to be as much as £500 million a year.

However, this accident at work compensation figure pales into significance when calculating the cost to the economy of the some 6 million days a year employees take off work on account of musculoskeletal disorders.

Other MSD facts
