According to Merck Manuals, neck injuries typically involve some type of damage to the vertebrae, cervical spine, or soft tissue in the neck area. In some situations, a neck injury can require extensive medical treatment and a long recovery period. Victims may incur thousands of dollars of medical debt while being out of work for several months.
If you or a loved one has suffered a neck injury due to another party’s negligence, a Melbourne neck injury lawyer can advise you on your legal options. Under Florida Statute §95.11, you generally have four years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. With this information in mind, you may not have long to act.

Proving Liability for Your Neck Injury
As your legal team, one of our goals will be to determine who is responsible for your economic and noneconomic damages. Negligent parties may include a property owner, driver, manufacturer, or medical professional.
To establish negligence, our legal team will need to review the following forms of evidence:
The Police Report
If law enforcement was called to the scene of the accident, they likely filled out a police report that details various pieces of crucial information. This could include the names of who was involved, the location of the accident, and other information that could point to liability.
Witnesses
We can call on two types of witnesses to substantiate your claim. Eyewitnesses who were present at the accident scene could provide verbal or written statements. Expert witnesses, such as medical professionals or accident reconstruction specialists, can provide insight into the details of the accident and how it led to your injuries.
Photos and Videos
A surveillance camera may have captured the accident. If so, we can view the footage to determine what happened. We can also use any photos that you or someone else may have taken during or after the accident.
Possible Compensable Damages
Your Melbourne neck injury lawyer can explore the extent of your losses to determine what damages you can recover through an insurance settlement or lawsuit.
You may be entitled to recover the following:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Property damage (if applicable)
- Pain and suffering and inconvenience
- Emotional trauma
- Disability
Our lawyers can fight for a fair settlement that reflects the scope of your losses.
