Neck Pain Following an Auto Accident Can Be Indicative of a Serious Injury
Neck pain affects each person differently. Some people may experience symptoms immediately at the accident scene. Others may not feel symptoms for several weeks.
Neck pain can point to injuries that require surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, and medications. These medical expenses can add up quickly.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms after being in an auto accident, it is important to check in with your doctor to have your injuries treated and documented.
Mayo Clinic reports that a neck-related injury can present the following symptoms:
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in your ears
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Problems with memory or concentration
- Abnormal sensations, such as numbness, heat, or prickling in the limbs
- Pain in the neck, upper back, shoulders, or arms
- Headaches, especially at the base of your head
- Disturbed sleep patterns
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
Your doctor or chiropractor will likely perform physical and neurological examinations (such as X-rays) to determine the cause of your symptoms. After a diagnosis is made, treatment may include surgery, cervical support collars, pain and anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy.
A Cincinnati neck pain caused by a car accident lawyer can help you estimate the cost of the damages you have incurred due to your injuries. They can work alongside your health care team to learn more about your condition and expected recovery time. They can also review the details of your health insurance policy to see if you have any coverage options.

A Cincinnati Neck Pain Caused by a Car Accident Lawyer Is Your Legal Advocate
Following a car accident, the legal process can quickly become confusing – especially if you have never been in a collision before. A lawyer from Bressman Law can answer any questions you have about filing an insurance claim or lawsuit. They can also handle the responsibilities involved with proving the cause of your injuries and the cost of your damages.

Our team can help you by:
Proving That the Other Party Is Responsible for Your Accident and Injuries
To recover compensation in a personal injury case, you will need to prove that another party should be held liable for your expenses. This is achieved by proving the following elements:
- Duty – every road user has a responsibility to drive safely and responsibly to avoid the risk of harm to others.
- Breach – drivers violate their duty of care to others when they fail to follow traffic signals, signs, and controls, drive while distracted, speed, or engage in other negligent behavior behind the wheel.
- Causation – proving your injuries would not have happened if the at-fault party had observed their duty of care towards you.
- Damages – You suffered an injury and other losses due to the other driver’s actions (or inactions).
When we represent you, we can help you gather the documents you will need to support your case, which can include:
- Photographs of the accident scene and your injuries
- Witness statements
- The police report
- Statements from law enforcement officials
- Traffic camera footage
- Expert testimony from medical professionals and accident reconstruction specialists
- Your medical records
This information can help your claim if the other party denies responsibility or if the insurance company disputes the cost of your injuries.
Estimating the Value of Your Damages
Our clients often ask us about the value of their claim. Without first reviewing the details of your situation, we cannot provide an answer. Many factors that will play into the value of your case.
You may be able to pursue compensation for the following economic and non-economic damages:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and inconvenience
- Emotional trauma
We will carefully examine your medical records and other documents (such as your employment records) to determine the accident’s full financial impact. We will also take into consideration any accident-related costs that may arise in the future.
Negotiating a Fair Settlement
Dealing with the liable insurance company can be a frustrating and daunting experience. To overcome this challenge, many people seek legal representation. Insurance companies are businesses. They work to advance their own financial interests rather than fairly compensate injured claimants. However, a Cincinnati neck pain caused by a car accident lawyer can handle all communications with the liable insurance company on your behalf. They can negotiate for a fair settlement while you focus on your health and family.
Yet, if this does not work out, your lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit and represent your interests in civil court. Per Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.10, you typically have two years to file a lawsuit for compensation. If you do not file your car accident lawsuit within the appropriate deadline, you could lose your right to financial recovery.
