Workplace Back Injuries

If you have experienced painful back injury resulting from activities performed in the workplace or due to an accident at work, consult a Mobile workplace injury attorney from the Citrin Law Firm to negotiate a settlement on your behalf. 

In addition to workers' compensation benefits, you may be eligible for additional compensation for your workplace back injuries due to the negligence of third parties, such as the manufacturer of a defective ladder that gave way, causing you to fall and injure your back.

We will thoroughly investigate your case and pursue all of the appropriate remedies that you are entitled to.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that one out of every five workplace injuries or illnesses is caused by a back injury. Workplace back injuries account for one fourth of all workers' compensation injury claims filed, costing insurance companies billions of dollars and causing employees much pain and frustration.

The majority of back injuries occur when an employee was lifting something in the workplace. The actions and activities in the workplace that cause low-back difficulties include:

• Heavy physical labor
• Forceful movements and lifting
• Twisting and bending
• Whole body vibration (WBV) caused by using a vibrating piece of machinery or tool
• Positions that are held for a long time without much movement
