If you have been unlucky enough to have had suffered from an accident or accidents at work then look at the case studies here on the Oakwood webpage.

Our client Mr B was 25 when his accident occurred in October at his workplace. He suffered a back injury after he had been asked to move many very heavy pallets at once for his employer.

Back injuries can require sufferers to need to undergo surgery or rehabilitation both of which are lengthy and financially draining options. To have suffered from an injury which has damaged or back at a young age is exceptionally unfortunate as back problems can plague sufferers for the entire lifetime. Our client suffers pain whilst he goes about his regular daily routine from his back. Some days he has trouble walking due to the pain in his back. His quality of sleep since his back injury has been greatly decreased as he still suffers from pain when he lies down.

Employers must create a safe working environment and they must police this environment regularly to ensure that they cannot add in safety measures. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that employees are fully trained and follow the correct safety procedures. I have been the unfortunate victim of accidents at work; if you have had a similar experience in Manchester or anywhere else in the UK then look at our case studies on the Oakwood webpage.
