What Is a Manual Handling or Lifting Injury Claim?

This type of claim covers injuries caused by lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or moving loads as part of your job. If your injury happened because of poor instructions, lack of training, or unsafe working conditions, your employer may be liable. We can help you get compensation for your pain, financial losses, and recovery costs.

Common Causes of Manual Handling Injuries at Work

  • Lifting heavy or awkward loads without help
  • Repetitive lifting over long periods
  • Twisting or bending in unsafe positions
  • No manual handling training provided
  • Lack of mechanical aids (like trolleys or hoists)
  • Being forced to rush or skip safe lifting techniques
