Back injury claim*

A back injury compensation claim* is the legal process to get compensation for the injuries you suffer in an accident that was not your fault. The back injury will impact your life, and you seek compensation for the effects today and in the future.

In a recent survey of Irish people and their health 40% said they had been diagnosed with lower back pain. Of the people surveyed, 48% said they had been suffering back pain for five years or more, and over 390,000 people had a chronic back condition. Back injury from an accident at work or when out and about in town can affect your life, with 69% of people with nerve injury to the back in the last year being off work for a time. 

The costs of treatment for a back injury can be high. The loss of income to the home when you cannot work due to a chronic back injury can quickly affect the family, and you may need long-term care in some cases.

PBN Litigation Solicitors in Dublin can look at the details of your case and help you form a claim for back injury compensation.

Common back injury claims* are for the nerve damage due to a workplace accident or the spinal cord damage following a road traffic accident. A back injury can happen in a flash, or you could suffer a back injury due to years of doing the same work without proper training or any supplied lifting aids.

You make the back injury claim* for the effect on your life today and in the future.

Types of public place accident back injury claims*:

The property owner should have public liability insurance, and you may be able to make a personal injury claim against the insurance holder.

Back injury claims* following an assault are another personal injury compensation section seeing an increase in Ireland at the moment. Assault crime rates are on the rise, and back injuries from an unprovoked assault are part of the statistics.

You may suffer a lower back injury with pain and difficulty in exercising following a kick in the back while on a night out with friends.

A severe back injury, like disc damage, can follow an assault where you are pushed over in the pub when socialising with family.

You claim for the effects of the injury today and in the future, such as the need for full-time personal care for life or a loss of income to the home.

The compensation awarded in Ireland for personal injury differs depending on the injury or injuries you suffer, such as the consequences of the back injury on your ability to work or to care for yourself.

Injuries in a personal injury case could cause unnecessary pain, discomfort, and emotional stress. You could spend time in hospital and be unable to work or look after family members in your care.
