Calculating the Value of a Neck Injury

Neck injuries can be significant, resulting in temporary or permanent disability. The effects of this type of injury can last a lifetime, causing an individual to suffer chronic pain and other difficulties.

In order to determine the value of your claim, a variety of factors will need to be considered. For instance, your initial medical treatment may be recovered. This includes transportation in an ambulance, emergency room and treatment given right away (such as medication).

You may also be dealing with follow-up medical care, which can be very costly. Depending on the nature and extent of your neck injury, you could be compensated for surgery, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and other forms of treatment.

Your employment may be impacted by your neck injury. The wages you have lost because of your injury could be added to your claim. If you are unable to return to work, earning potential may be recovered.

In some cases, your neck injury may lead to a different type of work with fewer hours or less pay. The difference in your income also may be valued into your claim.

In addition to your medical costs and lost wages, personal expenses may be considered. If you aren’t able to drive to your appointments and have to pay someone to take you, compensation could be included. If you can’t perform daily activities (such as chores or taking care of your children) and must employ the help of others, that sum could be added to your claim.

Non-economic damages may be available that address pain and suffering, mental anguish, reduced quality of life, loss of consortium and more. Each case is unique and will require experienced legal help in order to determine the damages you may be entitled to seek.
