Claims for Groin Injuries and Hernias
Causes of Groin Injuries
Groin injuries usually happen as a result of excessive strain or pressure on the groin or abdomen area through intense physical activity including heavy lifting. They can also be the result of sports activities such as football, rugby and swimming where the groin can be put under particular stain due to the demands of the sport.
All employers owe their employees a duty of care and have to take reasonable measures to ensure that their employees operate safely at work and are trained how to lift safely.
If this duty of care is not fully implemented and as a result an employee suffers a groin injury, the employee has the right to claim compensation. That's where Claims Justice can help.
Groin Injuries and Hernias
A groin injury usually happens when muscle in the groin area is stretched beyond its limits, causing the tissue in the adductor muscles to tear. This in turn may lead to other complications like a hernia which in itself can have a range of medical complications.
The injury is often preceded by abdominal or groin pain lasting days, even weeks. The injuries that cause the pain are generally due to inherent weakness in the abdominal muscle wall or related structures. A hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a split in the tissue or muscle which surrounds it. The resulting projection can often be felt through the skin as a lump which may be painful.
Following a severe groin injury, the groin must be rested to allow it to heal. This will greatly restrict all physical activity and may require and extended period away from work. Where complications exist, like a hernia, surgery is often required which will further extend the recuperation period.
Can you make a Groin Injury Compensation Claim?
Whether you can make a claim for the injury to your groin depends on the circumstances which caused the injury, as well as its severity.
If you were required to lift loads at work which are too heavy for you or were awkward to lift safely or you had not been properly trained how to lift safely and as a result, you suffered a groin injury which necessitated a period off work, then you may have valid a claim for compensation.
How to make a Claim
You need to discuss your injury with a Claims Adviser at Claims Justice. The Adviser will ask you to describe what happened and the injuries you sustained and then talk to you about the relevant training provided by your employer. The Adviser will also try to give you some idea of the level of compensation that you could expect if your claim was successful.
If the Adviser agrees that you do have a potential claim for compensation, with your approval, your case will then be transferred to a solicitor who specialises in your type of injury. The solicitor will handle everything for you and ensure that you receive 100% of any compensation you are awarded.
And don't forget, Claims Justice operates a No Win NO Fee policy.
