Hello,
I was working in an office capacity few years ago and suffered a disc prolapse as a direct result of work conditions, posture etc. This was agreed and proven by Health and Safety but every consultant says that there must have been a pre-exiting condition waiting to happen. Is there any course of action you can suggest for me as the only back problem I had was many years earlier for muscle strain, not disc related. What is your opinion guys?
thanks.

Usually, the limitation period for personal injury claims is three years and if you do not issue proceedings within three years of becoming aware of the injury you will be unable to do so. My other point is that even if the medical evidence does show a pre-existing condition, this does not necessarily mean that you do not have a claim.
