i had a fall at work and have now returned .I however do seem to have some pain from time to time and don't know what to do about it.
I was trying to move some goods in a warehouse on some racking, I fell of a shelve about 5 ft high maybe slipped and landed on my knee and shoulder and severely hurt my back, I went to hospital but they said to go home and keep walking and take pain killers for the back pain.
I had to use a forklift to get up on to the shelving, nut sure if your supposed to do that, Ive had no manual handling training and I'm not fully qualified, I just did to move the boxes but could this affect the outcome of my claim? I think my manager reported the incident in the accident book but I had to take a week off work, should I tell my employer to pay me?
if someone could give me some free legal advice maybe I could make a claim for compensation? but if I do would I be fired from my job, I really don't want to get laid off either. IF I enter into no win no fee agreement will l be liable for costs if don't win?
