How Do I Know If I Need A Lawyer After My Car Accident?

It’s often recommended to seek the help of a lawyer after any car accident, regardless of who is at fault. However, if you or members of your family are injured or experience pain after your car accident, hiring a lawyer to help with insurance matters, medical records, and more will help you get the best compensation possible.

How Soon After Your Back and Neck Injury Should You Contact an Attorney?

You should reach out to an attorney immediately after a back or neck injury. If you have been in an accident that was someone else’s fault, turning to professionals quickly can help you get the compensation you need. An attorney who focuses on personal injury law will guide you through the process of keeping medical records of the injury, so it’s essential you contact a lawyer right after the event.

What Are Some Long-Term Consequences Caused by Back and Neck Injuries?

There are numerous long-term consequences of back and neck injuries. These injuries can often lead to limitations in activities because of pain and other physical concerns. Commonly, back and neck injuries lead to suffering from:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Limited mobility

Sometimes, paralysis is a consequence of these injuries. Beyond physical pain, neck and back injuries can cause depression, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and even symptoms of PTSD. Many are not able to pursue activities they once enjoyed.

Productivity loss is another long-term consequence of back and neck injuries. Not being able to move and perform certain activities can significantly affect a person’s productivity, which also affects their professional and private lives.

Financial damage is another consequence. These kinds of injuries require extensive medical care, even hospitalization, and they often require years of rehabilitation and physical therapy. Insurance companies do not always cover these treatments.

How Much Compensation Can You Pursue for Your Injuries?

The type of injury, its severity, and its impact on your life are all factors that will influence the compensation you can pursue.

Medical bills, including those for future treatments you will need to manage the neck and back injury, are another factor. We will also look at lost income if the injury forces you to miss work. If the injury is permanent, compensation should include all of those lost wages.

If you have to work in a diminished capacity because of the injury, compensation should include the difference between what you earned before and after the injury.

Pain and suffering are additional factors that can impact the compensation you receive. Many insurance companies will take your economic loss and multiply it to come up with pain and suffering damages.

Keep in mind that insurance limits can affect the value of your claim. The at-fault party’s insurance will only pay compensation up to its limit.

What Type of Evidence Can Be Used in a Back and Neck Injury Case?

We can present evidence from the scene where the injury took place. If there were eyewitnesses, we will reach out to them for statements. Medical records are also vital, as are pictures of injuries, police reports, and any video recordings of the actual incident.

Physical evidence that supports your personal injury claim is useful. If you were in a car accident and the impact damaged your clothes, keep them as evidence of the collision’s force.

What Will Medical Costs Look Like After a Back and Neck Injury?

The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates the average lifetime cost of a spinal injury at over $5 million. Lifetime costs for other back and neck injuries can start at $1 million.

Back and neck injuries can cause horrible emotional, physical, financial, and professional suffering. Our attorney will do his best to get you compensation that will cover not only your past and present treatment, but also your future treatments, loss of salary and loss of benefits.
