What Are Common Causes of Neck Injuries?

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.

    Dear Mr. Effres, Please allow us to make your acquaintance. We are writing at the urging of Mr. Gusa, who shared with us the lovely history behind our receiving a beautiful six-passenger golf cart. As you know, he is a fine man and he was so pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise, so as to provide us with this unexpected gift. We would never have conceived of having such a large golf cart. Now that we have it, we are discovering how very valuable it is for being able to take a group of our distinguished guests all together on a tour around the monastery grounds. Perhaps one day circumstances will be such that you find yourself in Arizona. If so, we would be pleased to invite you on a tour of the monastery! With best regards by X. N.

  • "Best law office to work with!"
    Effres & Effres law office helped me to work through my case after I was rear ended by a young person who drove someone else's car with a minimal insurance coverage. They were great, always available, answering all my questions, giving the best advises, not aggressively but based on an informed decision-making process, which I was very much part of. We got a great result. I would strongly suggest this law office to anyone who was injured in an accident. They are great, responsible and accommodating you, every step on the way.
