What Damages Could Be Recovered 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.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Neck Injury Claim in California?

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.

  • "I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney."
    Dear Mr. Effres, I would like to express my deep appreciation for assisting me when I called you regarding the problem I had with a dental group I had been going to. Unfortunately my only solution will be small claims court. Here is a case where the dentist said he was qualified to do root canals and missed the canal and went into my gum even though he took 3 x-rays during the procedure, and very casually said, “sometimes things like this will happen.” I wish to thank you again for your advice and you can be assured I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney. Your thoughtfulness meant a lot! by H. M.
