It is very common to experience a sore neck after a car accident, especially if you were involved in a rear-end crash. A sore neck may be a symptom that doesn't appear immediately after an accident. You may even feel fine but then realize in the hours or days following the crash that your neck begins to hurt.
This is because your neck is a sensitive area of the body, and when it is thrown back and forth or from side to side during an accident, you may begin to suffer symptoms that cause radiating and chronic pain throughout your head, neck, and shoulders. This can make it hard for you to go back to work or to undertake physical activities that were commonplace for you prior to the accident.
If another person was responsible for the accident and your injuries, you may be entitled to receive compensation for these damages. Your damages can include medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses directly related to the crash itself. The support of an experienced and qualified personal injury attorney is strongly recommended if you find yourself in this situation.
