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.

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.

Our Clients' Success Stories

  • "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 cannot recommend Effres and Associates highly enough. Having lost a loved one due to malpractice, I was determined to find the best legal representation to seek justice for my family. We researched and interviewed many lawyers, and Stephen and Justin Effres stood out in every aspect; their knowledge and experience in the malpractice field, their record of winning cases, their patient guidance through the entire legal process, and their accessibility and responsiveness is unsurpassed.

  • "So pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise."
    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.
