If you or a loved one suffered a neck injury in an accident, you could be entitled to compensation for your lost wages, medical bills, and other damages.
One of our St. Petersburg neck injury lawyers can help you prove your case and fight for compensation on your behalf. At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, we gather the necessary evidence, calculate our clients’ damages, and fight for fair compensation.
How Our Legal Team Can Advance Your Interests
If you can prove that someone else caused your neck injury incident, they may have to pay you for your damages in an insurance claim or lawsuit. However, if you cannot provide evidence of another person’s negligence, it could leave you to shoulder your medical costs and other losses on your own.
The process of proving negligence and receiving your due can be challenging and complicated. However, our team seeks to make the claims process as easy as possible for our clients.
We Can Gather Evidence to Prove Your Case
Our team can help you with all aspects of a personal injury lawsuit, including one of the most important steps: establishing and proving fault in your case. We also need to identify your damages and all potential at-fault parties in order to pursue adequate compensation. For example, in a car accident, the at-fault parties could include another driver, a vehicle manufacturer, and others.
An attorney from our team can help you collect the necessary evidence, which may include:
- Police accident reports
- Photos and videos of the accident scene
- Statements of eyewitnesses
- Security camera or traffic camera footage
- Testimony from expert witnesses to help prove your case
Our firm can also negotiate with the relevant insurance company and take your case to trial, if necessary.
Our Team Is Ready to Help You Pursue Compensation for Your Losses
Depending on the facts of your accident and the severity of your injuries, you may be able to recover various damages. In general, the more serious a claimant’s injuries and the effect of those injuries on their overall life, the higher a settlement could be.
Individuals who experienced debilitating neck injuries due to another party’s negligence can potentially recover economic and non-economic damages.
Examples of Compensable Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate you for your monetary losses. They are relatively easy to calculate, as you can generally produce invoices and bills showing your expenses. Proof can include pay stubs, medical bills, and receipts for out-of-pocket costs.
You may be able to collect compensation for the following types of economic damages:
- Reimbursement for medical bills and the cost of medical devices, such as a neck brace
- Future medical costs
- Lost wages and future expected losses
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Property damage
Examples of Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages can be considerable if you suffered a permanent injury or had to endure painful treatments. These types of damages can be more challenging to calculate, as they do not come with receipts and bills.
A St. Petersburg neck injury lawyer from our firm can help assess the worth of your claim, including non-economic losses like:
- Emotional anguish and trauma
- Physical pain
- Reduced life quality
- Disability
Causes of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can happen in a variety of accidents, including falls on private or public property, work accidents, and car accidents. The way your injury occurred can impact the steps we need to take in seeking your compensation. Some of the more common causes for neck injuries of all types can include:
Collisions
Car accidents can happen due to weather conditions or vehicle defects. However, they generally occur due to driver error or negligence, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
If you got hurt in a car accident that was another party’s fault, you may be able to recover a settlement from the insurance company or compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. One of our St. Petersburg neck injury lawyers can help you get the process started today.
Work Accidents
Neck injuries in the workplace can result from strain, trauma, or repeated stress on the muscles and joints of the neck area. If your injury happened due to third-party negligence, you could potentially recover damages for pain and suffering and similar losses, which worker’s compensation does not account for.
Slip And Fall Accidents
Not every fall qualifies for compensation or a personal injury lawsuit. However, suppose you suffered a fall and injuries due to a dangerous condition in a restaurant, retail shop, parking garage, or on other premises. In that case, you could potentially have a case against a property owner or representative. Dangerous conditions can include:
- Wet and slippery floors
- Clutter on walking surfaces
- Cracks in flooring
- Inadequate lighting
This is by no means an exhaustive list. We build claims for many different circumstances, including pool accidents, boating accidents, dog attacks, and many others.
