San Antonio Neck Injury Lawyer

Common Accidents That Cause Neck and Back Injuries

Neck injuries often happen in sudden, forceful accidents, especially when your body is jolted, twisted, or hit without warning. At Ali Law Group, we’ve helped clients who were injured in accidents like:

• Car accidents – A neck injury from a car accident or bus accident can involve whiplash, herniated discs, or spinal damage. Even a minor crash can cause serious pain.
• Motorcycle wrecks – Riders are especially vulnerable to spinal and neck injuries when thrown from their bikes.
• Truck accidents – The force of a collision with an 18-wheeler can lead to long-term back and neck injuries that affect your ability to work and move comfortably.
• Slip and falls – Sudden falls can result in a neck injury or pinched nerves in the neck.
• Work injuries – Jobs involving heavy lifting, machinery, or repetitive motion—especially in construction and oil field work—often result in lower back injuries or chronic neck strain.
• Pedestrian and bike accidents – When you're hit by a vehicle, your back and neck often take the brunt of the impact.

A personal injury lawyer can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Types of Neck Injuries After an Accident

Neck injuries can range from mild discomfort to life-altering conditions that require surgery or long-term care. Some may not show symptoms right away, but over time, they can cause chronic neck pain and limited mobility. At Ali Law Group, we commonly handle cases involving various types of trauma—often assessed based on neck injury zones to determine severity and treatment approach.

• Whiplash – One of the most common neck injuries from car accidents, caused by the head being suddenly jerked forward and back.
• Herniated discs – When a spinal disc is pushed out of place, it can press on nerves and cause intense back or neck pain.
• Fractures – Broken vertebrae or damage to the spine can result in extreme neck pain and long-term disability.
• Nerve damage – Pinched or severed nerves in the neck or back can lead to numbness, weakness, or radiating pain.
• Soft tissue injuries – Strains, sprains, or a neck muscle injury can be extremely painful, especially in the lower back or neck.
• Spinal cord injuries – In serious cases, trauma to the spine can cause partial or full paralysis.

If you’ve suffered a neck injury after a car accident or a serious neck injury at work, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and long-term care. As experienced neck and back injury attorneys, we’re here to help you take the next step toward recovery.

Answers To Your Neck Injury Questions

If you're dealing with pain, medical bills, or uncertainty after a car accident or work-related injury, you're not alone. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from individuals recovering from neck injuries.

Do I have a case if I have a neck injury from a car accident?

You might. If another driver’s negligence caused the accident, you may be able to pursue compensation for your car accident neck injury. A lawyer can review the details and help determine your legal options.

What if I already had neck problems before the accident?

You can still have a case. If the accident worsened a pre-existing condition, Texas law may allow you to recover damages for the increased severity of your neck injury.

Can I receive a neck injury settlement without surgery?

Yes, you may still be eligible for compensation even if surgery isn’t required. Settlements often consider pain, medical treatment, lost income, and long-term effects—not just surgical intervention.

What is the average settlement for car accident back and neck injury?

Settlement amounts vary widely based on the severity of the injury, medical costs, time off work, and overall impact on your life. A neck injury lawyer can help evaluate your specific case and provide a realistic estimate.

What is the average workers’ comp neck injury settlement?

Workers’ comp settlements for neck injuries can vary depending on the injury’s severity, treatment required, and impact on your ability to work. Each case is unique and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney.

What if the insurance company says my injuries are minor?

Don't rely on their assessment alone. Some serious injuries, like herniated discs or soft tissue damage, may not be immediately obvious on scans—especially early on. A personal injury lawyer can ensure your injuries are properly evaluated and documented.

Can I file a claim for a neck injury I got at work?

Yes. If your injury happened at work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation. Our workplace injury lawyers can help evaluate your case and determine its strength. In some cases, if a third party (not your employer) contributed to the injury, you might also have grounds for a personal injury claim.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations in Neck Injury Cases

In Texas, the statute of limitations for most neck injury cases is generally two years from the date of the incident. Acting quickly is important to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and begin building your case. At Ali Law Group, we provide personalized legal strategies to ensure your neck injury claim gets the attention it deserves and to help you pursue the best possible outcome.
