Have you ever been injured in the workplace? If so, have you been informed that you could seek compensation for any work-related injuries?

These people do not have time to focus on their future as they are stuck in the present dealing with their financial problems caused by that injury.

If you have been injured while at work, you should seek legal help. Contact our Los Angeles Workers Compensation Attorneys, schedule your free initial consultation and learn everything about work comp and how you can obtain it.

A lot of these injuries are neck injuries. But just how does one deal with a work-related neck injury? Keep reading to find out.



Neck and Back are Connected

If your work-related injury caused you to suffer severe pain in your neck area, this could only be the beginning. Before you know it, you will be unable to move your head around due to neck pain. In the end, you could face back problems.

Neck and back are directly connected, and every injury to the neck could cause back and spine problems. That is why it is important to obtain a proper diagnosis of your injury so that you can receive proper treatment.

Keep in mind that after you have been injured at work, you have to obtain information about the assigned doctors that you must visit in order to be eligible to seek workers compensation. You cannot just go to your doctor; instead, you have to speak with your superiors, let them know that you got injured, and seek information about the assigned doctors.


Neck injuries could be related to:

· Fractures
· Buldged discs
· Pulled muscles
· Torn ligaments
·  Pinched nerves


Other related injuries could involve:

·  Fractured vertebrae
·  Herniated discs
·  Lumbar sprains
·  Whiplash
·  Cervical fractures
·  Spinal cord injuries

Be advised not to move your neck or head a lot until you receive proper diagnosis and start receiving proper treatment.

Many neck injuries evolve over time, resulting in even worse injuries and conditions. For that reason, you should always speak with your doctor as quickly as possible and not ignore even the slightest reason for concern. .
