Car Accident Back Injury Claims
The most high profile type of claim that we help clients in London with our whiplash injury claims. This occurs when a person’s suffers violent movements forwards and backwards. This can lead to spinal injuries where the neck area of cervical spine is damaged.
Claimants can also claim for compensation for injuries to the lower and middle of the back, and it’s not just car drivers who can suffer. We are also able to represent bus passengers, motorcyclists, and lorry drivers.
Back Injury at Work Claims
Those involved in manual labour, likes those in construction and factories, are amongst the highest risk of suffering from back pain and backaches.
