With the recession threatening job security throughout the land, we are all pushed to give 100 and 10 per cent at work, keen to impress our bosses so that our heads won’t be the next on the chopping block. You can see the pressures of work everywhere, from the commuter tapping away on his laptop on the way to and from work, to the businessman who sleeps with his BlackBerry under his pillow.

However, this constant thirst for work can take its toll and there are too many cases in which a worker has been pushed too far and cracked under the pressure. If you feel that you have suffered a mental injury from working too hard, then a personal injury solicitor in Birmingham may be able to help you claim compensation.

Several work-related activities can contribute to psychological injury, such as working exceptionally long hours to fulfill heavy workloads, and insufficient supervision, management or training.

Getting immersed in the present competitive business, we may get drowned physically and mentally, by our enormous stressful activities. Mental injuries are often, in reality, much worse than physical injuries; however, often mental injuries are not taken seriously and are often referred to as “invisible injuries.” If job stress is causing you to lash out at friends and family, this is a problem that needs to be fixed.

A personal injury solicitor will help you to decide if you should be getting any compensation or if the case is good enough to win in court; it is possible that your employers have caused a lot of damage to your mental health, which would give you a larger settlement.

It is imperative that you detect such injuries as quickly as possible; experts at UK stress claim advice list these warning signs as indications that you should seek medical advice:

1) declining/inconsistent work performance 2) uncharacteristic errors 3) loss of motivation/commitment 4) indecision 5) lapses in memory 6) crying 7) arguments 8) undue sensitivity 9) irritability/moodiness 10) over-reaction to problems 11) reduced social contact 12) difficulty in relaxing 13) increased consumption of alcohol 14) tiredness/lethargy 15) upset stomach/flatulence 16) tension 17) headaches 18) hand tremor 19) rapid weight gain or loss
