Suffered from a spinal injury?
Spinal injuries can be debilitating, often changing the affected person’s life forever. If you have suffered a spinal injury then you may find yourself no longer able to work, look after your family or care for yourself. If this injury was sustained at work, on the road or through no fault of your own then you may be entitled to compensation.
While back injury compensation may not be able to fix your spinal injury it can help take off some financial pressure and allow you to afford the care and rehabilitation services that you need.
How Severe is The Back Injury You Have Sustained?
Back injuries can be very complex, however, can range from mild, persistent lower or upper back pain right through to spinal cord injuries. In many cases, you will need to seek help from a medical specialist who will be able to advise exactly what back injury you have sustained.
Common causes of back injuries include:
- Slips, trips and falls.
- Repeated lifting and carrying heavy objects.
- Workplace accidents caused by unsafe conditions.
- Falling from a height.
- Road accidents.
Back Injuries & Compensation Claims
Back injuries can be sustained when you least expect it. Typically back injuries that you can claim compensation for are the result of;
- Car accidents through no fault of your own.
- Work related incidents such as heavy lifting, unsafe working conditions or slips, trips and falls.
- Slips, trips and falls in a public place like a shopping centre or supermarket.

What happens after your free claim check
Once you’ve completed your free claim check, we’ll arrange a call to talk through your accident with you and wether we think you have a claim. If you decide to move forward, we’ll guide you through each step – from gathering the right information to dealing with insurers and progressing your claim.
A call with our team.
It starts with a conversation where we take the time to understand what’s happened and how it’s affected you, then help you understand where you stand and what your options are.
What to prepare
You don’t need to have everything, but if you have details about the incident, medical treatment, insurance or superannuation, it can help us get started. We can guide you on anything else needed.
How fees work
There’s no upfront cost to get advice, and if we take on your claim, it’s on a no win, no fee basis, meaning you don’t pay our legal fees unless your claim is successful.
