Neck injuries are among the most common workplace injuries and the neck is one of the most easily injured parts of the body. Any part of your neck, muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments or nerves – can be injured and result in significant pain. Pain may also come from your shoulder, jaw, head or upper arms. Symptoms of these injuries can be found in the neck, arm, shoulder, and frequently results in headaches and sometimes dizziness. Pain from a work related injury may be caused by tears in muscles or injuries to the joints between vertebrae. Other causes of pain are ligament rupture or damage to a disc.
Neck injuries are particularly common for occupations involving moving, lifting, overuse or overload. If you have suffered a neck injury as the result of a workplace accident, please contact our dedicated workplace catastrophic injury attorney.

Insurance companies are supposed to pay you every two weeks you are out of work because of your injuries. If they don’t pay you timely they owe you penalties and interest. They are also supposed to pay you based upon your last 13 weeks of wages earned. In many cases the insurance company incorrectly calculates your benefits incorrectly and underpays you. You need a lawyer to fight for your lost wage benefits. The insurance company is required to pay your authorized workers compensation medical expenses, prescription medications and your medical mileage. Many times the insurance carrier refuses to pay a medical bill or prescriptions and you are left with these expenses. You need a lawyer to fight to get your medical treatment and medical bills paid.

The insurance company’s goal is to save money – not to assure you your rightful care and compensation.
