Neck injuries are common in personal injury cases, especially in car accidents. Even a seemingly minor accident can result in whiplash, requiring medical treatment and physical therapy.
Neck injuries can impact a victim’s life in numerous ways. While personal injury protection (PIP) coverage might cover medical bills for a minor injury, what happens when you have a severe injury? Fortunately, a Florida neck injury lawyer can help you pursue a claim for damages against the responsible parties.
The neck injury lawyers at Nonni Homola stand ready to help. We have years of experience assisting victims of car accidents and other types of incidents that lead to severe neck injuries.
We understand neck injuries can be life-changing, and we know how important it is to secure compensation for future treatment, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. Contact our office online or call (850) 601-1111 today to discuss the best course of action for your case.

Types of Neck Injuries
Your neck is vulnerable in an accident and highly susceptible to injury.
Some of the most common neck injuries include:
- Neck sprain or strain,
- Cervical spondylolisthesis,
- Pinched nerve,
- Slipped or herniated disc,
- Facet joint injury,
- Neck fracture or compression,
- Lacerations and cuts,
- Compression fracture, and
- Stiff muscles and tendons.
Don’t wait to seek treatment for your neck. Getting medical attention right away can help reduce the severity of your injuries and associated symptoms.
Potential Symptoms of a Neck Injury
Symptoms of whiplash and other neck injuries might not appear immediately after an accident. Knowing potential signs and what to look for after an accident is important.
Examples of possible neck injury symptoms include:
- Pain and stiffness,
- Limited range of motion,
- Pain that increases with movement,
- Muscle spasms,
- Dizziness,
- Neck tenderness,
- Ringing in the ears,
- Blurry vision, and
- Fatigue.
Even if you don’t think your neck injury is serious, it’s essential to get checked out by a doctor, especially after a car accident. Your doctor can rule out other types of injuries and get you started on a treatment program right away. If you plan to file a claim for PIP benefits in Florida, you must seek timely medical treatment.
How a Florida Neck Injury Lawyer Can Help
Don’t underestimate the impact a neck injury can have on your day-to-day life. Stiffness and severe pain can make even the simplest daily activities challenging. That’s why you need someone who can help you fight for the financial compensation you deserve. Our Florida neck injury attorneys are here for you when PIP coverage isn’t enough or isn’t available because your injury wasn’t caused by a car accident.
When you hire Nonni Homola to represent you, we will work tirelessly to help you recover the maximum compensation possible. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation and gather all evidence supporting your damages claim. We will interview witnesses and handle all communication with the defendant’s insurance company, so you don’t have to. That means your lawyer can negotiate a potential settlement on your behalf.
In some situations, consulting one or more experts might be necessary. An accident reconstructionist can prepare a report on the mechanics of the accident when the defendant’s insurance company isn’t willing to concede liability. A medical expert might be necessary to help evaluate your future medical treatment and prognosis.
Only some neck injury cases will be resolved through settlement negotiations. Should we need to file a lawsuit on your behalf, we have the necessary skills and resources to take your case to trial. Our lawyers are not afraid to stand up to insurance companies and corporate defendants. Rest assured, we will fight tirelessly for you.
