Jefferson Parish Neck Injury Lawyer

Neck injuries can be serious and frightening. The bones in the neck play a vital role in protecting your spinal cord, and any damage to this cord can result in a permanent disability. Even relatively minor neck injuries can be extremely painful and impact your ability to earn a living.

If another party’s negligent actions caused your neck injury, you have the right to seek out compensation for your losses in a personal injury insurance claim or lawsuit.

A Jefferson Parish neck injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to work to protect your legal rights. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
  • Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
  • Defective products
  • Slip and falls
  • Premises liability accidents
  • Emergency room errors

This is not an inclusive list of our practice areas. No matter how your accident occurred, call Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (504) 777-7777 for your free consultation with a member of our team. We offer representation on a contingency-fee-basis with no upfront payments required.

Types of Neck Injuries

There are a variety of ways that a traumatic accident can injure the neck. For example, in a car crash, a sudden stop can place enough force on the neck to damage its internal structure and cause whiplash. According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash can result in extreme pain, a decrease in range of neck motion, headaches, and other symptoms.

Neck injuries also can include:

  • Strains of the ligaments that hold the neck bones together
  • Slipped disks within the neck
  • Fractures of the bones in the neck
  • Spinal cord damage

It is essential that you seek emergency medical care after an accident that injured your neck. This may be necessary to not only limit the damage from the accident and stabilize your injury but also to document the cause of the pain for a future claim for damages.

Proving Fault for Accidents That May Result in Neck Damage

The type of accident that caused your neck injury will determine how you must prove the responsible party’s liability. In general, proving liability requires evidence of the following elements:

  • The responsible party owed you a duty of care
  • They breached that duty
  • The breach of duty caused your accident
  • The accident injured you and caused you financial loss

For example, with a car accident, every driver assumes a duty whenever they get behind the wheel. This includes an obligation not to place other people at an unnecessary risk of harm. One major part of this concept is following the rules of the road. Laws such as speed limits, those that establish rights of way, and those that prohibit drinking while driving exist to protect the wellbeing of all travelers and pedestrians. A driver who is in violation of those laws and causes an accident may be at fault for that collision and liable to provide compensation for the accident victims’ losses.

When you work with a Jefferson Parish neck injury lawyer from Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers on your case, we can work diligently to:

  • Identify the responsible party
  • Gather evidence to prove that their negligence caused the accident that led to your injuries
  • Handle all communications, deadlines, and paperwork on your behalf

The Damages You May Be Able to Recover

It is impossible to predict the amount of compensation that a person may receive following an accident that resulted in a neck injury. Compensation may depend on many things, including the type of injury, its severity, and its impact on the claimant’s life.

In general, you may be able to recover compensation for your current and future medical bills. These losses may include the costs of an ambulance trip, the bills from the hospital, and the costs of physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. No matter how severe a person’s injuries may be or how long treatment lasts, the at-fault party may be responsible for covering all necessary medical care costs.

Many personal injury claims also demand payments for lost income. Neck injuries have the potential to be extremely serious and can permanently jeopardize your ability to earn a living. If this is the case, at-fault parties may be required to provide reimbursement for reduced earning ability. Even in cases where an injury is temporary, if you have missed any time at work to seek medical care or make your recovery, the responsible party may owe you compensation for lost income.

It may also be possible to demand payments for lost quality of life associated with the incident. Many people suffer from nightmares, flashbacks, or other forms of emotional trauma following major accidents. Others may deal with intense pain that can accompany even relatively minor neck injuries. You may be able to recover compensation for these types of impacts—sometimes referred to as non-economic damages—as well.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
