I would like to claim compensation for multiple work related injuries that took place a while ago, I was wondering do I still have time to claim against my old employer?
I badly hurt my back on site 2 years ago carrying bricks, I was under pressure from the bosses to work more and move heavy loads and had to walk around the site carrying a lot of bricks on uneven ground, this cause be to slip and trip with materials in my arms and I jerked and strained my back, it was extremely painful but didn't fill in the accident book at the time because I didn't want to get kicked of site or laid off work, I carried on working through the spinal problems and caused more damage and was still being pushed by the management to rush round.
After the job was done I had trouble breathing, severe back pain and regularly had a stiff aching neck, I went the doctors about my condition and he diagnosed my with slipped discs, I went to hospital and had an xray that showed I had 2 bulging discs, had ctrl scans, saw a spine specialist and I have got no sick pay while I have been unable to work.
Have a got a right to claim compensation?
