Back injuries and back pain is a common complaint and back pain can be caused as a result of an injury or part of the degenerative process of ageing. It can be extremely difficult to establish exactly how much pain a person is actually experiencing. 

Because of the complex structure and makeup of the back and the many directions the back moves in it can be easily damaged by fairly moderate trauma or movement, incorrect posture while sitting can cause irreparable damage to the back if done over a period of time. 

Back injury is often damage to nerves, muscles and discs that are centred in and around the spinal area. Below are some of the most common types of accidents that result in back injury and trauma.

• Road Traffic Accidents - are one of the most common causes of back injury. Almost every road traffic accident that involves a collision a back injury will almost always follow. If you have been involved a traffic accident and you were in a collision that wasn't your fault then we can help you claim compensation. If you have suffered a back injury then we will be able to take care of your claim and arrange for your injuries to be assessed by instructing an orthopedic expert to examine you. If it can be established that the other party are part or wholly to blame for the accident we will be able to pursue a claim for you.
   
• Slip & Trip Accidents - It is possible that if you suffer a slip or a trip that you may sustain a back injury as a consequence of the slip and trip. It is not uncommon for the slip or trip to jar the back and cause muscular or disc injury.
   
• Lifting Injuries - are probably the most common and primary cause of back injury, other than Road Traffic Accidents. Lifting injuries are mostly likely to occur in the work place. Because of the severity of lifting injuries there are regulations that determine exactly how and how much you are allowed to lift. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 contain all the necessary information about the different methods of handling and lifting weights and objects.
