Unfortunately, work-related back injuries are growing increasingly common amongst the British workforce. Regardless of the types of jobs that people have, you can be sure that many have experienced back pain, minor or serious, at some point as a result of an accident at work or a workplace injury.
Those that sit down for much of the day such as office workers are at particular risk of suffering work-related back injuries. One of the major reasons for this is that computer desks are not positioned ergonomically, meaning that workers have to sit at awkward angles, stooped and twisted for much of the day. This puts tremendous strain on the muscles in the neck and back.
Similarly, crop pickers bend and reach constantly throughout the day, for very long hours during harvesting. These repetitive motions, as with all Repetitive Strain Injuries, cause more pain and suffering the longer that it is continued.
At the other end of the spectrum, shop workers who stand all day can also suffer with back pain. YouClaim spoke to one woman who worked behind a counter where she was unable to take the weight off her feet until one of her co-workers relieves her for a scheduled lunch break. She told us how she spent the day in a confined space with barely enough room to flex her legs, let alone enough space to stretch out her back.
Despite the fact that she had been instructed by her doctor not to do any heavy lifting, every week, the employee was required to lift heavy delivery boxes out of the stock room and onto the shop floor. She asked for assistance with this task more than once and was repeatedly refused as staffing was short at the branch.
Several logs of work-related back injuries were made in the shop's accident book and it wasn't until the woman ended up hospitalised that she decided she had little choice but to make a personal injury claim against her employer. She asked for our assistance and we found her a personal injury solicitor who specialises in work accident claims and after it was found that her employer was guilty of several health and safety breaches she was awarded 100% compensation without having to pay us or our solicitor a single penny.
