What is a Neck Injury?
Depending on the severity, neck injuries can be life-changing and must always be taken very seriously. A neck injury can have a lasting impact on your life, affecting not only your skeletal but also your nervous system.
Minor neck injuries may leave you with some discomfort, and neck braces are often required to prevent further damage during recovery. Unfortunately, severe neck injuries can result in permanent numbness or even paralysis from the neck down, leaving you unable to care for yourself — which is why many people seek advice about neck injury claims.
This type of injury can also have a serious impact on your mental health as you come to terms with the irreversible effect it may have on your life. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible to pursue a neck injury claim for compensation.
Other Neck Injuries
Whiplash
Alongside a neck injury, it can be common to experience pain in your shoulders or back too as they are all connected. One of the most familiar neck injuries is whiplash, which is an injury to the soft tissue in the neck.
Whiplash occurs when the head moves suddenly and unexpectedly, causing the soft tissue in the neck to strain and most of us attribute this injury to road traffic accidents. Whiplash can also happen as a result of a sports incident or some slip, trip and fall accidents. If you suffer from serious whiplash (lasting more than two years), you may be entitled to compensation.
Fractures
A fracture to the vertebrae (a broken neck) can be catastrophic if not treated quickly and carefully. The vertebrae can be fractured during a road collision or through an obscure accident, causing one part of your spine to run against another.
To claim compensation for a neck injury, you must prove that someone else’s negligence caused your injury.

What are General and Special Damages?
General Damages
General Damages compensate for the non-financial effects of a neck injury, such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life. These damages are personal and subjective, often varying widely between cases.
Special Damages
Special Damages cover the direct financial impact of your neck injury. This can include medical treatment costs, lost income, rehabilitation expenses, and any property damage. These are calculated using supporting evidence such as invoices, receipts, or payslips.
Is there a time limit to make a neck injury claim?
You have three years from the accident date or three years from when a medical professional diagnosed your injury to file a compensation claim.
Children who have suffered a neck or spinal injury have up to three years following their eighteenth birthday to start your claim. Additionally, there is no time limit for those who may not have the mental capacity to make a claim.

Medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and photographic evidence of the incident are all valuable.
