What should I do if my neck hurts after a car accident?

It’s a very common occurrence. You’re sitting at a red light, waiting for it to change, when a distracted motorist suddenly bumps into your car. A classic rear-ender, these types of accidents happen all the time, and often require little more than minor car repairs. You think it’s no big deal. You exchange information with the other driver, and go your separate ways. Though you don’t realize at the time, the impact has put a lot of strain on your neck muscles. You feel relatively fine in the hours that follow, but the next morning, you wake up with a serious cramp in your neck that just won’t go away. You may find yourself asking, “What should I do if my neck hurts after a car accident?” Learn the best way to protect your rights from experienced Los Angeles car accident attorneys at Ellis Law.

A strained neck injury, often called “whiplash,” can be hard to treat, and may affect your quality of life for many months to come. Insurance companies are hesitant to pay out funds to cover injuries that weren’t apparent at the time of the accident. Of course, in this situation, your pain and suffering are the direct result of another driver’s negligence, and you have every right to seek damages. Schedule a 100% free and confidential consultation with a personal injury lawyer from Ellis Law today, and explain the exact nature of your accident. We can guide you to a trusted physician who can properly assess your medical condition. The liable driver’s insurance company may be more than happy to cover the cost of replacing your bumper, but if you want to get them to pay for ongoing medical care, you’ll most likely need an attorney of your own.

Hiring an attorney can be expensive, and not everyone has the money to afford one out of pocket. Lawyers from Ellis Law get paid by contingency fees, which means our payment is contingent on you winning your case or agreeing to a settlement. We don’t see a dime unless you win compensation. Don’t let a lack of funds keep you from getting the top-notch legal representation you need to win your case. We are committed to making the process as comfortable and easy for you as possible. When your health, happiness and financial future are on the line, you deserve to work with the very best.
