sorry but i think some people have missed the point here.we are all entitled to go to work without risk of injury or death. if during the course of your duties you are injured by an appliance FALLING off a wall STRIKING you on the head and causing INJURY requiring any sort of hospitalisation then you should definitely claim for compensation. not only will the company be more vigilent in future in regards of further injury but you could prevent the death of a collegue.
not only accidents should be reported but also near misses , where although injury hasn't occured it could have. it has been proven that for every x amount of near misses reported a death is avoided. I think your right...but only if the injury is serious.
Uncertainty or not knowing causes depression, Im happy because I know I'm going to die one day!

well possible spinal nerve damage is pretty serious You seriously think you got that from a fan dropping on your head. Well I aint no doctor so I cant really pass comment but it just seems abit extream from that! I have had some really big things welly me on the bonce and never had any probs. Well hope it gets better soon and good luck with your case!

Well i didnt think much at the time. but i get sharp spasms at the bottom of my back if i move in a certain way. which i have never had before. it wasnt just an ordinary fan like they are electronic wall mounted fans it hit directly on my head and back of neck so its a good possibility it could be nerve damage. like i said i didnt think i was going to be badly injured. and i am still not sure i want to claim but i have an appointment with a specialist on friday who will confirm if it is nerve damage. if it is then i will claim as its not something thats easy to live with as any kind of movement in a certain way creases me with sharp pains in the bottom of my back

you need a good physio to give you the right exercises - nerve stretches etc. they'll probably refer you, not too long a wait at the mo.

I've suffered with my back for years now and have learnt to live with it.
Be very careful of how you are holding your neck - the slightest change in posture can have a huge effect on your back. Watch how you sit at work, home and in the car - your weight needs to be spread pretty evenly on your butt AND the tops of your legs not have all your weight on your butt. Do learn to live around it and don't let it take over your life
Good luck
