Received a Neck Injury from Car Crash or Other Accident? Compensation for Medical Care & Suffering May be Available
Have you suffered a neck injury in a car crash or other accident and someone else was at fault? You may be able to be compensated for the medical costs, loss of income, pain, stress and other damages you experience through a personal injury lawsuit. Persons with brain injury, spinal cord injury and other injuries caused by similar accidents may also file personal injury lawsuits. An experienced South Carolina accident lawyer like Lindsay Blanks can help you determine whether your case warrants a personal injury lawsuit.
Whiplash is one of the most common forms of neck injury & car crashes are the leading cause of whiplash. Whiplash is pain in the neck, shoulders or head caused by sudden violent motion of the head and neck. In most cases the pain is a result of injury to muscles or soft tissue and will heal in about three months. However, if the spine or spinal cord is injured, the injuries can be permanent.
Regardless of how long the pain lasts from your neck injury & car crash, you will have medical expenses and your life will be radically adjusted during that time. Severe pain can impact sleep, irritability, stress and other factors that can make life miserable. Most victims of neck injury & car crash injuries of other types are unable to work and earn an income until their injuries heal and the pain goes away. Combined, all these factors make for an expensive and stressful injury. If your accident occurred in South Carolina, an accident lawyer like Lindsay Blanks can help you recover your costs and lost income and obtain compensation for your pain and suffering through a Personal Injury lawsuit.
Personal Injury Lawsuit for Your Neck Injury or Car Crash Injury
Personal injury cases can be complex. In South Carolina the injured person and their lawyer must prove three things to win a personal injury case:
- That someone other than the injured person was responsible for the accident or incident through negligence or willful act
- That the person responsible had a duty of care toward the injured person. Every driver in South Carolina has a duty of care to watch out for other drivers and pedestrians. Likewise, every property owner has a duty of care toward people lawfully on the property.
- That the accident or incident caused by the negligent or willful act resulted in injuries that caused the injured person damages.
