Worker With Injured Back from Lifting at Work Seeking Compensation

What back and spinal injuries can I claim for?

Here are some examples of back and spinal injuries that may qualify for compensation:

Spinal cord injuries resulting from accidents or medical negligence may qualify for significant compensation payouts.

Back sprains and strains often result from workplace lifting or carrying and qualify for workers compensation.

Herniated discs can be caused by wear and tear from aging. But if they’re caused by repetitive strain from work or trauma from an accident, they may qualify for compensation.

If fractured vertebrae are caused by trauma from an accident like a car accident or a fall, they may qualify for compensation.

Back and spinal injury compensation FAQs.

Back and spinal injuries often result in time off work to recover, and in more serious cases can prevent you from returning to your job. But compensation can be a real lifeline to cover your lost wages, treatment and care expenses. In more serious cases lump sums may also be available to cover the ongoing costs you’ll incur.

If your back injury was the result of an accident, repetitive strain or wear and tear injury at work, weekly payments are available to cover your lost wages and treatment expenses. You may also be entitled to lump sums for permanent impairment and work injury damages.

The NSW CTP scheme provides compensation to anyone injured in a motor accident in NSW. Compensation payouts for back injuries can be significant, and may include lump sums for more serious injuries.

If back injuries are a known inherent risk of a sport or activity, they may not qualify for compensation. However, if the back injury was due to faulty equipment or facilities, or caused by someone failing in their duty of care to you, then you may have a valid claim.

Shanelle's story

Shanelle's story

I didn't choose to seek compensation, I needed to

When department manager and devoted mother Shanelle was refused surgery for her injury, she turned to us for help.

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s just good to know that there are people out there who actually care that I’m injured. And that’s what Law Partners is about – they care.”

We all had one thing in common

I had no income so I was pretty stuck

Financial hardship as a result of serious injury is not only devastating to the individual but also their family. These people have managed to come out the other side and we’re honoured to have helped them on their journey.

John's story

I didn't want to wake up the next day

A freak work accident suffered years ago completely altered the course of John’s life. He could no longer work, he lost his family, suffered financially and effectively lost the will to live.
