\"\"According to the Scarborough Evening News<\/a><\/em> a NHS worker is seeking compensation of around \u00a3200,000 because of a shoulder injury she says she has sustained whilst at work.\u00a0 The Scarborough Evening News<\/em> reports that Julia Graham has had to have two operations on her shoulder because she is being overworked and wants compensation because she can no longer carry out her role as an ultrasonographer.\u00a0 It would also appear that the hospital in which Mrs Graham works has admitted liability, but also alleges contributory negligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Employers owe their employees a duty of care which entails that they ensure that their employees\u2019 health and safety needs are met.\u00a0 According to Mrs Graham the NHS failed in this duty because they did not carry out the appropriate risk assessments, doubled her work load, and ignored her injury complaints<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is alleged that this failure has meant that Mrs Graham has seen her shoulder problems worsen.\u00a0 This is due to the fact that a lot of the time, Mrs. Graham is required to undergo tasks like scanning patients and various administrative duties which involved a lot of body movement.\u00a0 The tasks required her to frequently lean and turn and to repetitively use her left hand.\u00a0 This was also coupled by the fact that her work was high pressure and meant she had to stay several hours after her designated time to leave work.\u00a0 As such, problems in her neck and shoulder began<\/strong>.\u00a0 Mrs Graham has since had physiotherapy, acupuncture, and an operation, but says this has done little to help her situation.<\/p>\n

The Scarborough Evening News<\/em> says that the NHS, despite admitting liability, will suggest that Mrs Graham contributed to her injuries.\u00a0 That is, that Mrs Graham was experienced enough to be in charge of her tasks, but failed to help herself by not taking account of the risks and carrying on with the tasks she was given<\/strong>.\u00a0 This demonstrates the importance of seeking the advice of a professional injury lawyer<\/a>.\u00a0 If you have been involved in an accident at work or have sustained an injury whilst at work<\/a>, what would you do if your employer said you were partly to blame for your accident?\u00a0 It is one thing to deny this allegation, but you need to give reasons to support such a denial.\u00a0 This is one of the reasons why you should seek the advice of a quality injury lawyer<\/strong>.\u00a0 They can make arguments on your behalf as to why you are not in any way to blame for your injuries.\u00a0 Without this advice you may be awarded less compensation<\/a> than you deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
