Case details
Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust case study
The claimant, aged 27 at the time of her injury, was awarded a court settlement of £13,227 following a work-related illness claim.
The claimant worked as a nurse and sustained a back injury while lifting a patient. The claimant sustained a muscular or ligamentous strain of the lower back which caused severe constant back pain and resulted in her being unable to work for three months.
The symptoms abated after three months, and the claimant returned to her job. She was expected to suffer some movement restriction and have difficult with heavy domestic and employment work as a result of the injury.

Impact of the claimant's back injury on her work and lifestyle
Initially, the claimant worked on reduced hours, but was unable to cope with the heavy work involved, and she transferred to lighter duties. The transfer meant the claimant was moved from part time to full time work.
The claimant experienced a constant background backache which was aggravated by exertion, and from sitting or standing for prolonged periods. She also has some restriction of movement in the spine. In a report prepared for the claim, an independent medical specialist confirmed that they expected the symptoms to persist indefinitely.
The claimant found she had a reduced capacity to perform certain household tasks such as vacuum cleaning, and had to give up vigorous sports - in particular high-impact aerobics - in favour of more gentle exercise.
Compensation settlement
The Court ordered Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to pay a total sum of £13,227.
Total Damages of £9,000 were paid for pain, suffering and loss of amenities.
