It can very easily be injured from falling down and landing on your back or your buttocks. The pain, sometimes referred to as <em>coccydynia<\/em>, can last for a number of weeks or months and unfortunately there isn&#8217;t a great deal that can be done, or will be done, about it.<\/p>\n<p>The NHS will normally just treat a coccyx injury with pain medication. You can&#8217;t really have any kind of physiotherapy in the area either, so it really is a waiting game. It can cause a lot of pain when sitting down or moving around so it&#8217;s common for most people to have lengthy periods off of work when suffering with a coccyx injury.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So if you have injured your coccyx through no fault of your own, perhaps by slipping in a supermarket or falling over at work, you will probably want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/\">claim compensation for your injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can you claim for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can claim for the pain, suffering, and inconvenience caused by the injury, which is often constant and difficult to manage.<\/li>\n<li>The cost of pain medication whether it&#8217;s subscriptions or over the counter medication can be recovered. Keep receipts or invoices and we can look to recover the costs of these back. Given that medication is normally the only way to manage the pain of a coccyx injury, it can end up being rather costly!<\/li>\n<li>Lost earnings from time off of work &#8211; which can be considerable as a coccyx injury can equally cause problems for someone in a manual job or someone who sits down all of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How much is the claim worth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately it all depends on the severity and length of your suffering. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more we get for you. But most people can <strong>expect a payout in the region of \u00a31,000 to \u00a35,500<\/strong> unless there is any other damage or permanent problems when you look at the official guidelines for minor back and pelvic injuries.<\/p>\n<p>You also have to take in to account the losses element as mentioned above. If you have been off work for a month and lost \u00a32,000 in earnings, we can recover this back for you on top of the amount for the injury alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>100% Compensation and No Win, No Fee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinjurylawyers.co.uk\/100-percent-compensation-4u.php\">most types of claims we offer a full 100% compensation agreement<\/a> and a full No Win, No Fee service as well. <\/p>\n<p><strong>For help and advice, give us a call on 0800 634 75 75.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coccyx, also known as the tailbone, can cause a lot of pain and discomfort when injured.
