What is a Manual Handling Injury?
A manual handling injury occurs when a worker is hurt while physically moving objects as part of their job. These injuries are usually caused by unsafe lifting techniques, heavy loads, or poor workplace safety.
They often result in back pain, slipped discs, shoulder strain and muscle damage.
Can You Make a Claim?
You may be able to make a work accident compensation claim if your employer failed to provide a safe working environment.
You may have a valid claim if:
- You were not given proper training
- You were not provided with lifting equipment
- You were asked to handle unsafe or heavy loads
- Health and safety rules were ignored
- Employer negligence caused your injury
Compensation You Can Claim
A successful claim may include (but not be limited to):
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of earnings
- Medical treatment costs
- Rehabilitation and care support
Common Injuries
Workplace lifting accidents can cause serious injuries such as back injuries, slipped discs, neck and shoulder strain, muscular injuries, hernias and repetitive strain injuries.
