We’ll investigate the circumstances of your accident and create a strong case on your behalf. ## Common Neck Injuries: A Wide Range of Potential Harm **Neck injuries encompass a spectrum of conditions, ranging from mild discomfort to severe, life-altering consequences:** ### What Compensation Do You Deserve After a Neck Injury in Los Angeles? After a neck injury, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and the disruption it caused to your life. Here are some of the common types of damages you may be able to recover: - **Medical Expenses:** This includes costs for ambulance transportation, ER visits, surgeries, doctor's appointments, medication, and future medical needs. - **Lost Wages:** If your neck injury prevents you from working, you can seek compensation for income lost, including past wages and future lost earning capacity. - **Pain and Suffering:** This encompasses compensation for the physical pain, discomfort, emotional distress, and mental anguish you've endured because of the injury.**‍** - **Loss of Enjoyment of Life:** If your neck injury restricts your ability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed, you may be able to recover compensation for this loss. ## Time Limits to File a Spine Injury Claim in Los Angeles Taking legal action after a spinal cord injury is crucial to secure the compensation you deserve for medical expenses, lost income, and the significant challenges you face. However, it's essential to understand that California has strict deadlines for filing personal injury claims, known as the statute of limitations. In general, you have two years from the date of your spinal cord injury to file a lawsuit in Los Angeles. This means that if you fail to file a claim within this two-year window, you may lose your right to seek compensation altogether. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, if the injury was not immediately apparent, the two-year statute of limitations may start from the date the injury was discovered or should have reasonably been discovered. Similarly, for minors who suffer spinal cord injuries, the statute of limitations may be extended until they reach the age of 18. Additionally, if your spinal cord injury was caused by the negligence of a government agency, such as a city or county, special rules and shorter deadlines may apply. It's crucial to consult with an attorney immediately in these cases. Given the complexities of these deadlines, it's strongly recommended that you contact a Los Angeles spinal cord injury attorney as soon as possible after your injury. An experienced lawyer can assess your specific situation, determine the applicable deadlines, and ensure your claim is filed properly and on time. ## Why Choose Cohen & Marzban?

Symptoms can include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision. While many whiplash cases resolve within a few weeks, some individuals experience chronic pain and limitations. ### Cervical Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve) This occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated, often by a herniated disc or bone spur. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates down the arm and into the hand. ### Cervical Spinal Stenosis This condition involves a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck, which can compress the spinal cord or nerve roots. It can cause neck pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. ### Cervical Disc Herniation A herniated disc occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of an intervertebral disc in the neck pushes through the tough outer layer, pressing on nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the neck, shoulders, arms, or hands. ### Spinal Cord Injuries Severe neck injuries, such as fractures or dislocations of the cervical vertebrae, can damage the spinal cord. These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, loss of sensation, and impaired function below the level of injury. ### Car Accidents Car accidents, especially rear-end collisions, are a leading cause of neck injuries, primarily whiplash. The sudden jerking motion of the head and neck during impact can strain muscles, ligaments, and tendons in the neck. ### Truck Accidents Due to the significant size and weight difference between trucks and passenger vehicles, truck accidents can cause severe neck trauma, including whiplash, cervical fractures, and spinal cord injuries. ### Motorcycle Accidents Motorcycle riders are particularly vulnerable to neck injuries, even when wearing helmets. The lack of protection during a motorcycle crash can lead to forceful impacts on the head and neck, resulting in whiplash, fractures, and other serious injuries. ### Slip and Fall Accidents Falls from heights or slippery surfaces can cause a variety of neck injuries, including whiplash, strains, sprains, and even fractures of the cervical vertebrae. ### Workplace Accidents **Various workplace incidents can lead to neck injuries, including:** - **Falls:** Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or roofs can cause severe neck and spinal trauma. - **Heavy Lifting:** Lifting heavy objects improperly or straining the neck muscles can lead to strains, sprains, and herniated discs. - **Repetitive Motions:** Jobs that require repetitive neck movements, such as assembly line work or data entry, can cause strain and pain over time. - **Falling Objects:** Being struck by falling objects, such as tools or equipment, can cause head and neck injuries.
