- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Sports injuries
- Falls
Symptoms may include:
- Pain
- Stiffness

Partnering with knowledgeable neck injury attorneys is a crucial step towards securing your future. We are committed to providing the legal expertise necessary for your recovery.
Common Causes of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can arise from various incidents, leading to significant pain and long-term complications. Common causes include:
- Car Accidents: Sudden jolts from collisions can result in whiplash or severe neck injuries.
- Sports-Related Injuries: Athletes may suffer strains, sprains, or fractures from falls or collisions, particularly in contact sports.
- Workplace Accidents: Environments involving heavy lifting or repetitive motions can lead to neck injuries.
If you’ve been involved in any of these incidents, consulting with experienced neck injury attorneys can help you navigate personal injury claims and secure the compensation you deserve.
Types of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries vary in severity and type, requiring specialized legal expertise for recovery. Common types include:
- Whiplash: Often resulting from rear-end collisions, whiplash leads to neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and dizziness.
- Herniated Disc: Occurs when the cushion between vertebrae slips out of place, pressing on nearby nerves. Symptoms can include sharp pain and numbness radiating down the arms or legs.
- Cervical Strains and Sprains: Result from sudden movements or impacts, causing pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
If you suspect you have suffered any of these injuries, consulting a knowledgeable neck injury attorney is crucial for understanding your rights and seeking compensation.
Recognizing Symptoms of Neck Injuries
Neck injuries may present various symptoms that indicate a serious condition. Common signs include:
- Persistent neck pain
- Stiffness
- Limited range of motion
- Headaches
- Tingling sensations or numbness radiating down the arms
If you experience these symptoms after an accident, it’s essential to take them seriously. Seek medical help if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by alarming signs such as:
- Fever
- Severe headache
Early diagnosis and treatment can improve recovery outcomes and prevent long-term complications. Additionally, psychological impacts, such as anxiety and depression, should not be overlooked. At Thomas J. Henry Law, we understand the comprehensive effects of neck injuries, and our dedicated team is here to support you throughout the recovery process.
Legal Considerations for Neck Injury Claims
When pursuing a neck injury claim in Texas, understanding the legal landscape is crucial. Key considerations include:
- Statute of Limitations: In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit.
- Types of Damages: Victims may claim compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Evidence Gathering: Compiling compelling evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements is essential for a strong claim.

Your Neck Injury Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following a neck injury, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
