Back Injury Compensation made easy

Having a back injury can be a very serious and prolonged problem to live with if you do not seek the right medical attention or professional help. A back injury can be extremely common and can occur in a number of different ways. One of the more serious injuries occur in road accidents and be the result of whiplash.

If not treated properly a back injury can lead to further problems in the future as well as leaving your back vulnerable to injury. As there is already one injury leaving the back weakened, the ongoing condition means that a second injury can be easily sustained and more difficult to treat.

A prolonged back injury can easily leave you out of work for months or even longer, and sometimes requiring the assistance of a carer to help you with the day to day tasks. The financial cost of this together with the cost of adjusting your life to cope with your injuries. Unfortunately, back injuries are becoming more common and can cost the NHS around £8 billion per year alone.

It is therefore essential that you take care of your back and try and prevent injury. If you have experienced problems with your back in the past then it is vital that you take precautions for preventing re-injury and also make sure you do not strain your back.

Depending on the seriousness of your back injury, you can be entitled to compensation to help you with rehabilitation. The amount of compensation can vary according to the seriousness of your injury, for example a back strain or sprain can entitle you to a compensation between £4,000 to £7,500 where as a more serious spinal or muscular problem can entitle you up to £15,000 compensation. The actual amount of compensation depends on the seriousness of the back injury and how long it will take to recover.

To assist your rehabilitation and medical treatment, such as physiotherapy, you can claim compensation as a result of an accident. What you need is the right people to help you through the process of making a back injury compensation claim. Recover! can help you with getting rehabilitation and physiotherapy services.

Increased Risk of Motorbike Accidents in London?

The modern day hustle and bustle of traffic in modern day London means that there are always going to be delays, congestion and people get hot under the collar. There is also the increased risk of accidents from lack of attention, larger vehicles and too many cars on the road. We have seen recently that due to the increased number of accidents of cyclists and motorbikes.

So the answer is to now allow motorbikes, scooters and mopeds into the bus lanes that are shared with Buses, cyclists and taxis. This move is to not only cut down on the number of accidents (by up to 40% in trials) but also reduce the congestion and get the traffic moving again. However, this still does not remove the threat of other collisions between motorbikes and buses, or motorbikes and cyclists. There might be greater challenges for the dominant vehicles in the bus lanes, for example the faster moving motorbikes with the slower moving bicycles. So far thousands of people have signed a petition again the move as this will require new regulations and safety precautions to be put in place.

Accidents of motorbikes colliding with motorbikes is on the increase. Take the example of Simon Powell who suffered head injuries after colliding with another motorbike travelling in the opposite direction. Head injuries resulting from motorbike accidents occur quite often and can be settled with a compensation claim.

With the increase in motorcycles using the bus lanes in London there is the possible risk of more accidents occurring, not only with buses but possibly with other motorbikes and cyclists. The pilot scheme is set to run for 18 months to view the impact on traffic and accident levels.

Whiplash claim epidemic

According to the Association of British Insurers, the number of whiplash claims being made to its members is rapidly increasing with almost 1200 claims being made every day! Over a year this is worth £2bn.

On top of this cost, it is estimated that these injuries cost the NHS around £8bn per year.

The major cause of whiplash is car accidents where the patient's car is hit from behind by another driver. This causes a rapid backwards bending of the neck immediately followed by a rapid forward bending which can damage the muscles and ligaments of the neck and cervical spine.

Whiplash Claim Compensation Case Study

Whiplash Injury and a Write-off caused by a Rear End Shunt

Needing to make a right turn, the claimant checked her mirror and saw no other vehicles behind her, indicated and stopped. As she was waiting to make her turn a car collided into her from behind, shunting the claimant's car.

Recover Compensation began a car accident compensation claim.

The claimant sustained whiplash causing problems with her shoulder. The claimant had to take a week off work. She also suffered flashbacks which caused disturbed sleep and tiredness and made her reluctant to drive near to where the accident took place.

The driver of the car who had caused the accident was reluctant to involve the insurers as she was not named on the insurance policy. However, the claimant was awarded £2000 in injury compensation for her whiplash and shoulder injury. Recover Compensation also recovered the lost wages that the claimant would have normally received and recovered car hire charges. The claimant's car was written off so she had to hire a car whilst purchasing a replacement car.

Workplace Accident Compensation Claim

Have you had an accident at work?

Whilst you are at work, you are under the care of your employer who has a duty to provide you with a safe place of work, a safe system of work and safe work equipment. Therefore your employer should provide you with proper training for the job you are doing, adequate and safe work equipment, a safe way of doing your job and with colleagues that are competent at doing their job.

If your employers neglect their duty towards you, and you have a workplace accident as a result of their negligence, you are entitled to make a work injury claim against your employer's insurance policy for compensation for your injuries. For example, your accident may be caused by inadequate or defective work equipment or by a lack of training.

Workplace Accident Case Study:
The claimant was working as a printer in an area with ten printers, some of which had mats in front of them. The floor underneath the mats was grey-painted concrete and it's understood that the mats were to protect the paint from wear, tear and spillages. The claimant had turned to put some printed paper on a table behind him. As he was turning back to the machine to reload it, he caught his foot in the matting causing his foot and knee to remain still while he continued to turn. As a consequence the claimant dislocated his knee.
