Neck Injury

About 50,000 people sustain a neck injury just through road traffic accidents every year in the UK. Neck injuries are also common in the workplace and from certain sports. Compensation awarded for a neck injury is usually fairly substantial; running into the thousands if negligence was proved.

A neck injury from a car accident is commonly known as whiplash and usually affects more women than men due to the weaker nature of a woman’s neck. In the case of whiplash, the driver of the car that struck you from behind will be held liable, while your employer may be at fault if you were instructed to lift an unnaturally heavy weight at work and subsequently suffered a neck injury.

If you have sustained neck injury within the last three years from the negligence of others, you should speak with a personal injury solicitor for advice on claiming compensation. If your neck injury prevents you from carrying out your job, loss of earnings will also be taken into account when the courts sum up any compensation package.

Many law firms operate on a no win, no fee basis; meaning you have nothing to lose should you not be successful in making a claim for compensation. Furthermore, even if you do win compensation for your neck injury, your solicitor will claim their fee from the defence and not from the compensation you have been awarded for your neck injury. Many reputable law firms can now be contacted online.
