Neck injuries are common in car accidents. Workplace accidents and falls are other common sources of these injuries.

In this process, our team of lawyers will collect thorough pieces of evidence to identify and establish a liable party.

Treating a Neck Injury and Paying for Medical Expenses
As information from Mayo Clinic shows, whiplash is one of the most common neck injuries that victims of accidents suffer. Car accidents are a common cause of whiplash injuries due to the sheer force and velocity of impact. If you or a loved one were part of an accident that forced your neck and spine back and forth in a rapid motion, then you may suffer a whiplash injury.
These injuries can begin mildly, only to progress with time. Failing to seek prompt medical attention often makes things worse. However, many victims suffering from whiplash and similar neck injuries try to tough it out due to the implied financial costs of dealing with such an injury.
Medical expenses can add up fast when dealing with a neck injury. Depending on the circumstances of the incident that caused your neck injury, you may be able to collect recoverable damages that cover the costs of your treatment plan.
Some recoverable damages that you may collect after an accident include the following:
- Past and future medical bills
- Property damage
- Loss of income
- Prescription medication
- Ambulance and transportation costs
- Loss of the ability to enjoy life
- Operations and surgeries
- Ongoing therapy and rehabilitation programs
When you have a lawyer working on your side, they will assess your damage as they investigate the incident that led to a neck injury. In doing so, they will strive to recover any damages and financial compensation that you may be deserving to receive. A Sarasota neck injury lawyer from the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will fight on your behalf. We will gather evidence, identify a liable party, and negotiate for any potential settlements that you may be owed. Contact our office today at 1-800-747-3733 to learn more about how we can help.
Building a Case After an Accident
After an accident, your legal representation will often begin the process of collecting evidence. In this stage, your lawyer may look for:
- Photos
- Videos
- Police reports
- Witness testimonies
This includes any other evidence that can serve to establish a liable party. Neck injury cases, like any others, often involve one or more parties. As such, your lawyer may need to speak with insurance agents and similar entities to complete their investigation.
Several laws may enter into your case as well. Car accident cases, for example, may necessitate a close inspection of state and federal highway laws, many of which bear enormous consequences on the outcome of a case. As a victim, you do not have to sort out the details of these complex laws when you hire a lawyer to assist with your case. However, some laws may come into play before you can even get in touch with a legal team.
For example, as the statute of limitations in Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a) shows, you have a limited time to take legal action when you suffer a personal injury in the state of Florida. Many state, local, and federal laws like these can impact the outcome of your case. A lawyer who focuses on these kinds of cases will work to interpret the law and keep you updated on the details of your case as it moves forward. Acting to get in touch with a lawyer after your accident will give them enough time to get started on investigating the incident and building up a case to defend you.
