Back injuries
There can be many types of back injury – from a muscular strain causing mild discomfort to more serious injuries which can have a permanent effect on the sufferer’s quality of life. In some serious cases, paralysis can occur. If the injury has been caused by the fault of somebody else (either a person or a company) you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.
Back injuries can occur in a number of different ways. Common examples include: car accidents causing injuries to the neck and back; workplace accidents causing back injuries from incidents involving a fall, a slip or a trip, lifting heavy items or from items falling.

Case study
After delivering kegs into a pub cellar, our client closed the door, only to find the concrete around the door disintegrating. He was left supporting the full weight of the door to stop it falling into the cellar, and as a result he suffered a back injury. The pub company sought to evade liability as our client’s colleague did not recall the accident, and our client had not consulted his doctor at the time.
As he appeared to us to be a very credible, straightforward individual, we pressed on with the case, raising proceedings on his behalf. An initial offer of £6,000 was made. Through our negotiation this was increased to £8,000, then £9,100. We lodged a formal proposal to settle for £10,000, which was successful.

What our clients say
- Stephen Irvine, thank you so much for your hard work, patience and perseverance in getting to this satisfactory conclusion. I have never had any experiences with solicitors or going through any type of procedure of this nature, yet you made it feel seamless and painless, and your advice was always welcome. Thank you for your professionalism in keeping me informed at each stage and in providing sound advice. Once again, thank you for everything.
J.H. - I received an excellent service from Jackie Raitt. She was professional, understanding and kept me informed every step of the way. She is a credit to your firm.
D.M. - Stephen Irvine has been amazing from start to finish. He always explained things to me in an easy, friendly manner. Many many thanks to Stephen and his team for all the help I received during the last few years. Forever grateful.
D.L. - The service I received was excellent, Gordon Milligan and Julie Harris were very helpful and informative and if I didn’t understand something they very kindly talked me through everything with no issues. They are both kind and caring and everything you want in a solicitor. From my first meeting with Gordon I knew I was in good hands and both he and Julie made me feel very comfortable with all aspects of my claim and I am very grateful for this. I would highly recommend both of them to deal with anyone’s case. Thank you very much for the care, attention, excellent service and solicitors I was provided and for helping me win my case.
