Car Accident Injuries Can Lead to Chronic Neck Pain
A car accident can cause a severe neck injury, which can change a person’s physical abilities and force them to live with chronic pain. Some commonly reported car accident injuries that can lead to short- and long-term neck pain include:
- Whiplash, which occurs when your head, neck, and shoulders forcibly whip back and forth in a collision
- Concussions, which occur when your head gets violently bumped, struck, or jolted in a collision
According to the Cleveland Clinic, neck pain can be the result of damage in the muscles, ligaments, discs, vertebral joints, and nerve roots in the spinal cord. These injuries can result in costly and extensive medical care, which should be covered by the at-fault driver—not you. Our team can help establish fault for the accident and fight for you to receive compensation for your neck pain.

A Lawyer Can Help You Prove Fault and Assign Liability
When we work on your claim for compensation, we will need to prove that the at-fault driver was responsible for causing the accident. To do that, we can start by listening to your recollection of the accident. We can then collect the following documents and other evidence to support your claim:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Crash report
- Witness statements
If they are available, we can also use photos of your injuries, the accident scene, and the points of impact on each vehicle to prove fault. Once the cause of the accident is established, we can continue then start calculating your losses.

Establishing Your Injury-Related Expenses and Losses
A car accident can leave you with financial damages. Expenses after an accident may include medical bills and in-home assistance. You may lose wages if you cannot go back to work because of your injuries, whether for a temporary amount of time or permanently.
You may be able to receive compensation for:
- Current and future medical bills
- Current and future lost wages
- Physical disability and disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Our case review team can help you fight for compensation to recover your damages. By compiling a case file with records, bills, and receipts that detail the financial impact of the accident, we can help you arrive at an accurate assessment of your injury-related expenses. We will then use this estimate to negotiate a settlement on your behalf.

A Financial Settlement Can Resolve Your Claim for Compensation
Many personal injury claims, which include car accident claims, get settled out of court rather than in trial. Your lawyer may be able to resolve your case by negotiating a financial settlement for your injury-related expenses. If you accept, your case will be settled, and you will have avoided having to go through a lengthy court case.
When you agree to a financial settlement, you should be aware that you will release the at-fault driver from any further pursuit of financial coverage in writing. That means even if you discover additional expenses related to your injuries later, you cannot request any additional money from the at-fault driver. It also means assigning an accurate value to your compensation claim is critical.
You should also keep in mind that you are the only person who can accept or decline a settlement amount that is offered. Your lawyer can help you determine the feasibility of each offer you receive, but the decision is always up to you. While negotiating a settlement, your lawyer can also make sure you do not run out of time to file a lawsuit in case you cannot agree to a financial settlement.
