What Are Common Causes of Neck Injuries?

Whether you sustained damage in the tissue or bones of the neck area, it is important that you get comprehensive treatment. Even if you do not feel as if you are in a significant amount of pain, it is still to your greatest advantage to see a doctor.

Common causes of neck injuries include:

If your injury was caused by the negligence of another, you may be able to seek compensation. If you are uncertain whether or not you have grounds for a case, reach out to our team of Los Angeles personal injury lawyers for a free consultation. Together, we can go over the details of your situation and find a plan of action for moving forward.

Recoverable Damages in a Neck Injury Claim

Victims of neck injuries could be entitled to various types of compensation, known as damages, which are designed to cover both economic and non-economic losses. Understanding the scope of recoverable damages can help you assess the full scope of your claim.

  • Medical Expenses: This includes all past, present, and future medical costs related to the injury. Expenses can encompass hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and any necessary medical equipment.
  • Lost Wages: If the neck injury stops you from working, either temporarily or permanently, you can claim compensation for lost income. This could also include the loss of earning capacity if the injury impairs your capability to work in the future.
  • Pain and Suffering: Neck injuries often cause significant pain and discomfort. Compensation for pain and suffering addresses the physical and emotional despair endured as a result of the injury.
  • Loss of Consortium: If the neck injury negatively affects your relationship with your spouse, you may be qualified to compensation for loss of consortium. This damage addresses the loss of companionship and support.
  • Property Damage: If the neck injury occurred in an accident that also damaged your property, like a vehicle, you can seek compensation for repair or replacement costs.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly reckless or malicious, punitive damages may be awarded. These are intended to penalize the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

How Long Do I Have to File a Neck Injury Claim in CA?

The statute of limitations helps set a deadline for filing a neck injury claim, and adhering to this timeline is crucial for preserving your right to seek compensation. In the state of California, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including neck injuries, is normally two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this period usually results in the forfeiture of your right to pursue legal action.

Our Clients' Success Stories

  • "We are very fortunate to have you for our attorney!"
    Dear Steven, Just a note during the holiday season to tell you how much we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication on the Maria case. This December is the second anniversary of my mother’s tragic accident in the Burbank Mall parking lot. We could not have gotten through the tangle of issues and problems without you. We are very fortunate to have you for our attorney! Thank you again for your hard work, PATIENCE and perseverance on our behalf. by L & M

  • "We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."
    Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M

  • "I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."
    In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.

  • "They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom."
    I'm an attorney. My mom was seriously injured in a slip-and-fall accident. Steve and Justin represented my mom. They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom. And they're both wonderful human beings. They, and their staff, treated my mom with kindness and respect. I cannot sing their praises enough!
