Back Injury At Work Claims

Back Injury Claim 1

Back Injury At Work Claims

Suffered a back injury at work? You may be entitled to compensation.

Back injuries are one of the most common workplace injuries in Dublin and across Ireland. Whether you’ve been hurt lifting heavy loads, slipped on an unsafe surface, or suffered damage from prolonged sitting at a poorly set up workstation, your employer has a legal duty of care to protect you. If they’ve failed in that duty, you have every right to make a claim.

At WorkClaims.ie, we help injured workers in Dublin pursue the compensation they deserve. From initial consultation to settlement, we guide you through every step of the claims process. Our team understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll a back injury takes, lost wages, medical bills, and the impact on your daily life. We explain the applicable legal fees and other costs before you decide to proceed.

We handle the full process for you:

  • An honest assessment of whether you have a valid claim
  • Gathering the evidence - medical reports, accident records, witness accounts
  • Submitting your claim to the Injuries Resolution Board correctly and on time
  • Dealing with the insurer on your behalf, so you are never pressured
  • Pursuing your case through the courts if a fair outcome is not offered

Time limits apply - in most cases a claim must be started within 2 years of the injury, so get advice early.

Why Representation Matters

Your employer's insurer handles injury claims every day. A well-prepared claim carries weight because the other side can see it will hold up. In our experience, most claims resolve without ever going to court.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation can I claim for a back injury at work?

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury. Minor back strains can settle for €10,000-€20,000, while serious disc injuries or chronic conditions can reach €60,000-€100,000+. We assess your case and give you an honest estimate.

In Ireland, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to make a claim through the Injuries Resolution Board. The sooner you get in touch, the stronger your case will be.

No. It is illegal for your employer to penalise you for making a legitimate workplace injury claim. You are fully protected under Irish employment law.
