3 Reasons Car Accident Victims With Neck Pain Should Hire an Attorney

If you are experiencing neck pain that won’t go away after a car accident, it is vital to seek professional medical attention as soon as possible. Cervical spine injuries, which cause neck pain, can worsen significantly over time if left untreated. 

Further, often a cervical (neck) spine injury can cause neurological injuries, such as impinged nerves, radiculopathy, myelopathy, and other injuries to the structure of your spine. You may feel shooting pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, a feeling of “pins and needles” that shoot down your arms, into your hands and fingers. These can be tell-tale signs of a neurologic injury.

After being seen by a medical professional, it is essential to retain the services of a skilled attorney to begin work on your case. A few reasons to partner with a legal professional from Jassim Law include the following:

Determining the Total Value of Your Claim

Understanding the true value of your personal injury claim, especially when it involves neck pain from an accident, can be challenging. Neck injuries often have long-term effects that significantly alter your day-to-day life. 

When you retain one of our attorneys, we will consider every aspect of your situation, including immediate and future medical treatments, lost wages, diminished future earning potential, pain, and suffering, and any other relevant factors, ensuring your compensation reflects the real impact on your life.

Obtaining a Higher Settlement or Jury Verdict

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not have car accident victims’ best interests at heart and often attempt to deny or devalue claims. A knowledgeable attorney can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, maximizing your potential compensation. When dealing with insurance adjusters, it is critical to avoid speaking to them or providing a recorded statement without an attorney present. 

Saving Time

If you are contending with persistent neck pain, the desire to settle your claim quickly can lead you to accept early offers from insurance companies. These companies often delay proceedings to pressure you into settling for less. An experienced attorney can prevent this by effectively negotiating and communicating with insurance adjusters to expedite your case and secure a fair settlement.

With a personal injury attorney handling your case, you can focus on your health, knowing we are diligently working to secure the compensation you deserve. This not only saves you time but also ensures that your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
