Basically I have took order of a drinks delivery, barrels, crates and kegs at work, the lorry driver said that he could only deliver if I helped him, he said that the lift on lorry was broke and not working I helped him lift from 5ft off the truck a barrel that must have weighed over 50kg down to street level and then again onto his sack truck. when pulling the sack truck the barrel fell rolled onto me. but the whole process has caused injury to my back. soft tissue damage and muscle pain and I have hurt my knees and legs and limping as a result, I feel like my injuries were a result of unsafe work and practice by both the delivery company and driver.
Can I claim against the delivery company or delivery driver, I have tissue damage, awful back pain and need to see a physio but I do not want to sue my employer, however in estimation what would I want to receive for these damages? and could I receive physiotherapy for free as part of a claim with legal expert? thank you
