What Is A Back Injury Claim?
A back injury claim lets you pursue compensation if you’ve suffered a back injury through someone else’s negligence, such as after a road accident on Deansgate, a workplace incident on Oxford Road or a slip at a venue like the AO Arena. You could be entitled to make a claim if another party—such as an employer, driver or business owner, breached their duty of care towards you, directly resulting in your injury.
Common back injuries include sprains, herniated discs, and spinal fractures. Your claim may cover not just medical expenses from facilities such as Manchester Royal Infirmary, but also loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs and the impact on your everyday life.
When you start a back injury claim with Personal Injury Solicitors Manchester, you’ll receive guidance on the strength of your claim and what evidence to collect, such as accident reports and medical records. You’ll also gain:
Clear legal advice tailored to your claim
Direct communication about your case updates
Support in arranging medical assessments

Examples of Accidents That Could Result In A Back Injury Claim

Workplace incidents: Falls from ladders or scaffolding, being struck by falling objects, slips or trips on wet or uneven surfaces, injury from faulty or unguarded machinery, manual handling without appropriate support, repetitive strain injuries, or accidents involving vehicles or forklifts on site
Road traffic accidents: Rear-end collisions, side-impact or head-on crashes, accidents involving cyclists or motorcyclists, injuries as a pedestrian, incidents involving buses, taxis or lorries, or crashes resulting from poor road conditions
Public place accidents: Slips, trips or falls on wet floors or uneven pavements at shopping centres, supermarkets or restaurants, accidents in parks or playgrounds due to defective equipment, injuries at sporting events, gyms or leisure centres, falls on public transport, or incidents at concerts, gigs, or festivals caused by overcrowding or inadequate safety measures

What Does Compensation In A Back Injury Claim Cover?
Compensation in a back injury claim typically covers losses and expenses directly linked to your injury. If you’ve suffered a back injury due to someone else’s negligence, you could be entitled to claim compensation for both financial and personal impacts.
You could recover compensation for:
Medical Expenses: A claim will cover costs for treatments, scans, surgeries, physiotherapy, and prescription medication. Relevant hospitals include Manchester Royal Infirmary or Salford Royal Hospital.
Loss of Earnings: A claim will include salary lost during recovery and consider future loss of earnings if your capacity to work is affected long-term.
Specialist Equipment & Care: Claims often include costs for aids such as orthopaedic chairs or private care assistance at home.
Rehabilitation Costs: Compensation covers private physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and related rehabilitation services that may not be fully available on the NHS.
Pain, Suffering, and Loss of Amenity: Awards account for physical pain, psychological trauma, and changes to your daily life due to spinal cord injuries or herniated discs.
Travel Costs: Expenses for taxis or public transport to appointments at places like Spire Manchester Hospital are covered if trips relate to your injury.
Importantly, if you work with one of our solicitors, they’ll review your suffering in detail to try and make sure that any compensation offer is fair.
