Most Common Causes of Chest Injury
Injuries to the chest can be caused in many different ways, but when a party has failed in their duty of care to you, they are liable for the accident. A non-fault chest injury occurs from a serious lapse in health and safety, and as such, you deserve to be compensated for your loss.
Accidents at Work Causing Chest Injuries
If you’ve suffered a chest injury at work from any of the following types of accidents, your employer is more than likely liable, and you will stand a strong chance of receiving compensation.
- Falls from heights
- Objects falling or collapsing onto employees
- Moving machinery striking staff
- Work vehicle collisions
Chest Injury – Accidents in Public
If you’re visiting a Southampton local business, the last thing you want to think about is your safety. Business owners have a duty of care to your health, which makes them liable when accidents do happen. Frequently, patrons are injured by slipping, tripping, or falling accidents – which isn’t often a cause of chest injury. However, collapsing store units, displays and other promotional areas can crush people – and significant incidents can cause serious chest injuries.
Road Traffic Accidents Leading to Chest Injuries
Road traffic accidents are one of the single most common causes of personal injury we see in Southampton. Most will automatically jump to whiplash when thinking about car crashes, but the chest is also at risk, especially with seatbelts in high impact crashes. Other vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorbike riders, all stand significant risk of chest injuries. Without any of the protection afforded to our heads, chests can be left to take the brunt of injury.
It doesn’t matter how your chest injury was sustained in Southampton – if you’re not at fault, we can help. Call our personal injury experts on 02382 553 315^ for a free claim assessment today and start your compensation journey.
Chest Injuries – Different Forms
An injury to the chest can result in organ damage, if not broken ribs, which if untreated quickly, can be fatal. At the bare minimum, bruising can cause difficulty moving and great discomfort. If you’ve suffered a chest injury in Southampton, it’s likely to have caused a lot of pain and suffering, which our team of personal injury experts will help you seek damages for.
Occupational illnesses are considered types of injury – as they cause a loss to the sufferer. Common industrial diseases that affect the chest are:
- Mesothelioma
- COPD
- Occupational Asthma
