Do I Qualify for Neck Injury Compensation?
If you’ve suffered a neck injury as a result of safety failings, you may be able to claim for neck injury compensation. There are a number of different ways that you can sustain a neck injury. These can include, but are not limited to, the following.
Whiplash
As the head is actually quite a heavy part of the body, if you are involved in any kind of accident that involves rapid movement of the neck, the strain can cause significant damage to the tendons and muscles in the neck, and even to the cervical part of the spine. This kind of neck injury most commonly occurs in car accidents. You will most likely know that you have damaged your neck in the aftermath of an accident, but the symptoms can worsen over the next few days and include:
- Headaches
- Reduced and painful neck movements
- Tenderness and heat over the neck muscles
- Neck pain and stiffness
In some cases, you can develop lasting damage that is known as chronic whiplash. This can make it difficult to carry out everyday activities, as well as making it difficult to carry out work.
Neck Strain and Lifting Injuries at Work
If you work in a job that involves lifting heavy objects or working on a production line, you may be more likely to sustain a neck injury. The most common type of minor neck injuries in the workplace include:
- Soft tissue damage
- Pulled muscles
- Ligament damage
- Tendon damage
In serious cases, your neck injury may have long-term effects, or you may have been the victim of a serious isolated incident where you suffered a neck injury. If this has happened to you, a chat with our trained solicitors can help you find out whether you can make a claim.

Broken Neck and Paralysis
This is the most serious neck injury you can sustain as injuries of this type involve damage to the cervical vertebrae, which are the top seven bones in the spinal column. This often results in some form of paralysis. We understand the traumatic way an injury like this will have changed your life and want to offer any legal help that we can.
