hello all, maybe its the way i explained this.

so he has an accident at work, as mentioned im not sure of the full details but they were on a job and he had his back turned and some huge windows with triple glazing fell off the truck and hit him on the head and knocked him out.

he was completely fit untill that day. ever since he has really struggled, its affected his work and his training.

as mentioned with what he has done with the weight loss etc and how far hes got with this he didnt want to not continue with the championships.

its now apparent that hes struggliing with his work and the lifting and the boxing also.

he hasnt had an sick days apart from being signed off yesterday. he has worked all the way through so please dont think hes been off sick and boxing.

anyway he has now decided that the job is physically to much for him now due to the strain on his neck so has decided to resign.

basically hes put in the claim due to unsafe proceedures his work has. before he was fit and healthy and now hes not thats it.

as a result it means he cant continue this very manual heavy lifting job and also its also affected his training and boxing career.

Fraud is radiculas. i hope you understand what i meant.

No, you misunderstand the purpose of a personal injury claim. What injury has he suffered that renders him unable to work yet able to box at such a high standard?

If you have no concerns about fraud then he'll call the insurers, sols etc and advise them he is still taking part in competitive boxing, yes?

Being 'knocked out' doesn't cause long-term neck and upper back problems. Has he been diagnosed with a proper medical condition linking his head injury to his neck and upper back? If not, everyone will likely think it's more to do with boxing that caused these injuries.

Why was his back turned? Sounds like he wasn't following work guidelines. If you're moving heavy objects you should NEVER turn your back to it. It's an accident caused due to his own carelessness.

Basically your brother is going to have a very hard time convincing the insurers his injuries are down to an accident and not boxing...

How is he going to prove how much damage/pain is from the accident and how much is down to boxing or even if the pain is a result of the accident and not the boxing?

Insurers also award on levels of pain/injuries, again how are they meant to determine what is down to the accident and how much is down to the boxing?
They will also argue his decision to carry on boxing has increased his level of pain so what are they supposed to pay out on?

i think thats now the case. he has continued and struggled but doesnt want to give up this opportunity due to a work error which is why he has continued.

at the moment he is having physio and i think the doctors have said its muscle damage and see how physio goes.

everyone is aware he is boxing so nothing has been hidden. he had spoke to a claims company and explained the whole situation and they have decided that there is a claim there.

regarding what happened at work was a work issue. im not sure of the full story but a few people were also injured. they werent moving things at this time so it wasnt down to the workers error.

Muscle damage is often caused by boxing. For a moment I thought glass broke and damaged a nerve inside his head which triggered those neck and back pain.

Good luck claiming, and proving a window with glass hitting him in the head managed to cause these injuries instead of boxing. Claims company will say there is a claim just because they want business.

I can't see this claim winning.

Step 1 if you want to continue with this fraudulent claim: Make Facebook profile private.
Step 2: Remove photos boasting about winning a match on Saturday.
Step 3: Remove status update complaining about how the long working hours is interfering with training.

Doesn't look like he's having any troubles with training or boxing - he won on Saturday (even posted a video!!)

So, in a nutshell:

There may have been an accident which caused an injury but he can't actually remember, and claims to have been unconscious for a whole minute (so he was taken straight to the hospital to check for concussion?); which may or may not have been the employers fault (because I think you will find that they deny it is their fault, and all employees were trained how to fix items securely); which caused him to have a grand total of three days (including the weekend) off work but has had absolutely no impact at all on his boxing, a sport known to be asscoiated with head injuries, and other muscle injuries; and he hasn't needed to take any time off ill subsequently until he is offered another job, as which point he needs a couple of weeks rest (because working is getting in the way of training for a dangerous sport which is known to be associated with serious injury?).

I think I'd be kind of surprised if the employers insurers are the only people looking carefully at his claims. I'd think the DWP might be looking carefully at the SSP claim too.
