Neck Injury Claims
Claiming compensation for a neck injury
Neck Injury Claims
It’s complicated to move around with a neck injury. It can leave you isolated and depressed with extreme physical pain. Any injury can affect your day-to-day life, but neck damages can make it impossible to go to work, drive, or carry on with social activities and hobbies. Some types of neck injury can heal faster. But, in most critical cases, the symptoms of neck injury can last for many years and may need ongoing treatment.
If your injury was somebody else’s mistake and happened in the last three years, then you can make a compensation claim.
Types of neck injury
Minor and significant neck injuries can involve whiplash or cartilage damage. It can also damage muscles or tendons between the head and back. Usually, these injuries can heal quickly, but symptoms can last up to some years.
As the neck is a significant part of the spine, fractures can sometimes have life-changing effects. Paralysis can happen in some severe cases of fractured vertebrae. If you or a loved one have experienced a neck injury, you can make a serious injury claim.
