Manual handling injuries in the workplace fall under personal injury claims against employers or others whose duty of care was breached. A solicitor in this area helps you pursue compensation by examining how the injury happened, who is liable, and what losses you’ve suffered, including medical treatment, loss of earnings, and care needs. They gather medical evidence, organise expert reports, negotiate with insurers, and, if needed, issue proceedings in the courts, typically in the County Court or High Court depending on value and complexity.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The injury may lead to long-term health effects or ongoing care needs, with strict deadlines to start or defend a claim. A solicitor protects your position by ensuring the correct evidence is gathered, reporting injuries promptly, and navigating the process that reaches a settlement or a court decree.
