Helping The Injured
To Level The Playing Field

Concord Neck Injury Lawyers

Neck injuries are some of the most serious types of injuries, since they tend to affect every aspect of our injured workers and their families’ lives. They can result in permanent disability and paralysis, wage loss and ongoing pain and suffering.

If you have suffered a neck or cervical spinal cord injury as a result of a workplace accident or an outside-of-work accident caused by the negligence of another person or company, you may be able to recover monetary compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering. An experienced Concord neck injury attorney can help you understand your options for recovery.

Experienced Legal Counsel On Your Side

Our attorneys at the Goforth & Lucas Law Partnership have over three decades of experience guiding injured workers and their families through the often difficult and frustrating process of recovering an adequate and fair settlement from insurance companies. This resistance by insurance carriers is typical and can be overcome by having an experienced lawyer and orthopedic doctor on your side. We litigate or mediate our injured workers and their families’ claims with the insurance company lawyers with the goal of recovering the maximum compensation.

  • Much of the frustration comes from the fact that insurance companies will often view the spinal injury as a ” soft tissue” or “subjective injury.
  • Many times, even where there is no herniated or bulging disk, the neck injury can cause lifelong disability and extensive pain. A neck injury affects a number of muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Commonly, we see that the injuries involving the neck and back have more to do with damage to the spinal cord. We understand the unfortunate reality that our injured workers and their families might have to deal with pain or loss of mobility for the rest of their lives. Our firm strives to level the playing field for our clients, thus helping our clients to overcome common insurance company objections.
