Back Injury Compensation – Support When You Need It Most

Struggling with a back injury after an accident that wasn’t your fault?
Back injuries are some of the most painful and life-changing injuries anyone can suffer. From lifting a child to sitting at a desk, your back supports you in almost everything you do. When it’s injured, everyday life suddenly feels like a mountain to climb. Simple tasks like bending, driving, or even sleeping can become a constant struggle.

At Claims 24 Hours, we understand the stress this causes. You may be unable to work, worried about bills, or frustrated at losing your independence. The good news? If your accident wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to back injury compensation. This can help cover your lost income, treatment costs, and the impact the injury has had on your daily life.

Best of all, we work on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means you won’t pay a penny unless we win your case. We’ll guide you step by step, explain everything in simple language, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Types of Back Injuries You Can Claim For

Back injuries range from short-term pain to life-changing conditions. Some common injuries we help with include:

• Strains and sprains – damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons causing pain and stiffness

• Slipped or herniated discs – severe back pain, sometimes with nerve damage or sciatica

• Fractures – broken bones in the spine or vertebrae, often needing long recovery

• Soft tissue injuries – bruising and swelling from falls or accidents

• Severe spinal injuries – nerve damage, paralysis, or long-term disability

Every back injury is different. That’s why your compensation will be based on how serious the injury is and how it affects your life.

Common Causes of Back Injuries

Back injuries can happen anywhere – on the road, at work, or even in public places. Some of the most common include:

• Workplace accidents – lifting heavy loads without training, falls from height, or unsafe equipment

• Road traffic accidents – car, motorbike, or cycling crashes often cause whiplash or spinal injuries

• Slips, trips, and falls – on wet floors, uneven pavements, or unsafe stairs

• Sports accidents – from unsafe pitches, faulty equipment, or collisions

• Medical negligence – errors in surgery or treatment that worsen an existing back injury

If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have a strong case.

How Much Back Injury Compensation Can I Get?

Compensation is split into two parts:

• General damages – for pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life

• Special damages – for financial losses like lost wages, medical bills, and travel expenses

According to the Judicial College Guidelines, back injury payouts can look like this:

Your final payout could be much higher when special damages like lost wages and medical treatment are included.

Who Can Make a Back Injury Claim?

You may be able to claim if:

• Your accident happened in the last 3 years

• Someone else was at least partly responsible

• The other party had a duty of care to keep you safe (employer, driver, council, business, etc.)

Even if you think you were partly to blame, don’t rule yourself out. You could still receive reduced compensation.
