Back injuries are extremely common and can occur in a multitude of ways, eg through car accidents, falls, lifting accidents at work, manual handling or heavy lifting accidents. Unfortunately back injuries can lead to further problems, leaving your back vulnerable to future trauma. If your back has already been weakened by one injury leaving you with an ongoing condition, a second injury can exacerbate the existing condition.
For example you sustain a soft issue injury to your back as a result of being involved in a car accident. The level of compensation you can expect to receive for your back injury will depend on the prognosis, i.e. the length of time it will take you to fully recover. To assist in your recovery Lawson-West can offer rehabilitation and physiotherapy services.
If your back injury involves strains and sprains, disc prolapses and soft tissue injuries and you do not require surgery and you are expected to fully recover in two to five years, you can expect to get injury compensation between £4,250 and £7,500. In addition, you may be entitled to recover expenses incurred as a result of your injury.
If your back injury is more serious, involving ligaments and muscles or a worsening of an existing back condition, you can expect to get injury compensation between £6,750 and £15,250. In addition, you may be entitled to recover expenses incurred as a result of your injury.
If your back injury is very serious involving paralysis and other conditions arise as a result, such as impotence or incompetence, you can expect to get injury compensation up to £93,000 depending on the severity of the injury.
