Soft Tissue Injury at Work - Compensation Claims
Claim compensation for a soft tissue injury at work
Many people who suffer accidents at work sustain soft tissue injury. These may be in the form of sprains to joints, dislocations, strains and pulls. There may be damage to the soft tissue or tendons, ligaments or muscles. Many injuries are caused by manual handling tasks or from slipping and tripping accidents, although they can arise in a variety of circumstances.
Having a pre-existing injury or condition does not necessarily prevent a compensation claim being pursued. Compensation can be awarded for an aggravation or acceleration of the symptoms from a pre-existing condition as the result of an accident.
