Warehouse Back Injury
Compensation Claim Near Rosyth
– £9,000 Settlement

“Mark”, a man in his forties from near Rosyth, got in touch after hurting his back at work in a warehouse job. It happened during a normal shift, not during anything dramatic.

The area where Mark was working was unusually cramped because pallets had been left in a designated walkway. Staff had raised concerns about the lack of space before, but the issue had not been addressed. While trying to manoeuvre around an obstruction and continue his work safely, Mark twisted awkwardly and injured his back.

Over the next few days, the injury started affecting more than just work. He was missing shifts, sleeping badly, and finding simple things at home harder than they should have been. Driving was uncomfortable. Lifting anything felt risky. He was also unsure what he was supposed to do next. He did not want to make a fuss, but he knew the injury was affecting too many parts of his life to brush it aside.

After contacting HD Claims Legal, he was put in touch with a Scottish solicitor experienced in workplace accident claims. The case was built around the accident record, medical evidence and the effect the injury had on his earnings and day-to-day routine.

The claim moved forward on a no win no fee basis and was later resolved without the stress of a full court hearing. Mark received compensation of just over £9,000, helping to cover his lost earnings and recognise the impact the injury had on his day-to-day life.
