Neck injuries can be painful, debilitating, and long-lasting. One of the most common neck injuries is whiplash, which affects nearly 200,000 people each year in the U.S. While often linked to rear-end car accidents, neck injuries can also occur from workplace incidents, sports, falls, and other trauma.
At Freeburn Law, our experienced personal injury attorneys are here to help you pursue compensation for your neck injury. Whether you were injured in a crash, on the job, or another accident caused by someone else’s negligence, we’re ready to fight for your rights.
Common Causes of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can happen in a wide range of accidents. Some of the most common causes include:
-
Car accidents, especially rear-end collisions
-
Workplace injuries, including falls or lifting-related trauma
-
Contact sports (e.g., football, hockey, wrestling)
-
Bicycle or motorcycle crashes
-
Assault or physical violence
Symptoms of Neck Injuries
Symptoms can vary based on the type and severity of the injury, but common signs include:
-
Neck pain and stiffness
-
Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
-
Dizziness or blurred vision
-
Shoulder or upper back pain
-
Tingling or numbness in the arms
-
Fatigue or general weariness
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, it's important to seek medical attention immediately — and speak with a lawyer about your legal options.
Can I Get Compensation for a Neck Injury?
Yes. If your injury was caused by someone else's negligence — such as a reckless driver or an unsafe work environment — you may be entitled to compensation for:
-
Medical bills (including physical therapy, medications, and future care)
-
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Long-term disability
-
Emotional distress
In workers’ compensation cases, you may also qualify for wage replacement benefits and coverage of all necessary medical treatment, even if your employer was not at fault. Our Pennsylvania injury attorneys can help you understand what your claim may be worth — and handle the paperwork, insurance companies, and legal steps for you.
