A neck injury can totally change your life, especially if you are active or have a physically demanding job. A neck injury can happen in a wide variety of accident types, from fender benders to high-speed collisions on the freeway. Regardless of how your accident may have happened, you may be entitled to compensation from the other driver that caused the accident.

For many injury victims, trying to figure out the legal system at a tough time in our lives can be overwhelming. Consulting a St. Charles Parish neck injury lawyer may be able to help you understand your rights and the best way to go about protecting them. At Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers, we care about our clients and understand how much pain and stress they are trying to cope with after a car accident. While you heal from your neck injury, we will build a case on your behalf. Call us today at (504) 777-7777.

Neck Injuries Are Common in Car Accidents

A neck injury is a common outcome of a car accident. When another vehicle slams into your vehicle, the sudden force can cause your head to move around violently. This accident can lead to one of the most common types of neck injuries, whiplash. This injury happens when your head whips back and forth violently like a cracking whip, according to the Mayo Clinic. This injury can lead to a wide list of symptoms like neck pain, stiffening in the neck, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and more.

Neck injuries can also happen as a result of head traumas. If your head hits the interior of the vehicle, the impact could affect the vertebra in your neck. A dislocated or broken disc in your cervical spine is a serious injury that requires extensive medical treatment or even surgery.

If you think that you suffered a neck injury as a result of a car accident, then it is important for you to seek medical treatment as quickly as possible. Seeing a doctor will not only ensure that you get better, but it will also create a record of your injuries and treatments that you can use to support your claim for damages against the person who hurt you. A St. Charles Parish neck injury lawyer at Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to assist you with your claim. Call (504) 777-7777 as soon as possible to start learning about how we can help.

Holding Someone Responsible After a Car Accident

For many victims, this accident is the first time that they have thought about bringing a personal injury claim against someone. This action often leads to many different questions about how the process works and what they have to do to get the compensation that they deserve.

First, there are four elements that you have to prove in a personal injury claim or lawsuit in order to be awarded compensation:

  • Duty–You must show that the other driver owed you a duty to drive with the same level of care and skill as a responsible driver
  • Breach–You must show that the other driver did not meet this standard and drove without adequate care and skill
  • Causation–You must show that you suffered injuries
  • Damages–You must show that the damages that you suffered are connected to the accident

This proof may sound simple, but it often takes a lot of evidence and hard work to build a strong case. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers will take on the task of building your case. This process includes gathering evidence, speaking with eyewitnesses, and contacting any experts who may be needed to consult on your case.

There are times where having an accident reconstructionist work on your case can help prove how the other driver’s actions caused the crash to happen. Alternatively, you may need to work with a medical professional who can testify about your injuries and how they have impacted your life.

It is also important to note that you have a limited time to bring your lawsuit against the person or company that caused your injury. Under Louisiana Civil Code (CC) §3492, if you do not file your lawsuit within two years from the date the injury happened, then you might lose your right to recover compensation.

To start learning more about how a St. Charles Parish neck injury lawyer can help you, call our team at (504) 777-7777. We offer a free consultation, so you have nothing to lose.

Recovering Damages After a Neck Injury Accident

In general, any expense that is directly related to the accident can be submitted as an item of damages, for which you can be reimbursed.

Here are some damages that you may have suffered:

  • Future medical costs–Neck injuries can lead to a lifetime of pain and treatment
  • Reduced earning capacity–If your injury means you cannot go back to work, then you are entitled to compensation for your lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering–Losing the ability to enjoy your hobbies and regular activities due to your painful and debilitating injuries can be devastating.
  • Loss of consortium–Your loved ones may be able to bring a claim for the loss of your companionship, love, and support if the neck injury severely limits your daily life

There may be other expenses that you had to pay that can be recovered in a personal injury claim. Instead of wondering what kind of financial recovery you may be able to receive, consider consulting a St. Charles Parish neck injury lawyer for answers. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers to set up a free consultation to learn more about whether we can assist you. Call us at (504) 777-7777 today.
