Whiplash is one of the most common injuries caused by car accidents. A sudden, forceful impact that causes your neck to snap back and forth rapidly can lead to a sprained neck, resulting in neck pain, numbness, vertigo, and other neurological issues.

Whether you’re filing a car accident lawsuit after experiencing a neck injury from a truck crash, or if you’re seeking damages from a sports injury that caused whiplash, you’re going to have questions. If you’re experiencing a whiplash injury, here’s what you need to know.
The length of time to file after a neck injury depends on how you were injured. If you sustained a whiplash injury from a fall or another party’s negligence, the Colorado statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident. If you are a car accident victim, you have three years to file a claim.
Waiting too long can jeopardize your pay out. If you’re unsure about your timeline, contact an injury lawyer like Schofield & Green Law for a free case evaluation so you don’t miss your chance to seek justice.
Not necessarily. Most claims settle out of court. However, if the insurer refuses to offer compensation or the other party disputes liability, our attorneys won’t hesitate to take your case to trial.
At Schofield & Green Law, we prepare every case as if it will go to court. Whether we settle or litigate, you’ll have a strong case built for maximum compensation.
Whiplash symptoms often seem mild at first but can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain, mobility issues, and financial stress. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid claim. Common signs that your case is worth pursuing include:
You needed treatment after the accident.
You’ve experienced pain, stiffness, or mobility issues.
Your injury kept you out of work or caused financial strain.
You have ongoing symptoms affecting your daily life.
It costs nothing to speak with our personal injury lawyers. We’ll review your case and fight for every dollar you deserve.
Every whiplash injury case is unique, and the timeline depends on factors such as the severity of your injury, the evidence gathering process, and the other involved party’s willingness to negotiate.
Some cases settle in a matter of weeks, while others take several months or longer. We move cases forward efficiently while ensuring you receive full compensation — not a rushed, lowball settlement.
Even if the at-fault driver has no insurance or inadequate coverage, you may still have options. Your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage could help pay for your bills, lost wages, and physical and emotional healing.
Yes. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can get compensation as long as you were less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you’re awarded $1,000,000 but found 20% at fault, your final compensation would be $800,000.
Insurance companies often try to unfairly shift blame to reduce payouts. Our attorneys push back against these tactics to ensure you receive every dollar you’re owed.
If the insurance provider has made you an offer, proceed with caution. Initial settlements are often far lower than what you actually deserve — designed to close the case quickly before the full extent of your neck injuries is known.
Before accepting any settlement, consult with our attorneys. We’ll review your offer for free, calculate the true value of your case, and negotiate for the maximum compensation. Once you accept a settlement, you typically waive your right to seek additional compensation, so it’s crucial to get it right the first time.
At Schofield & Green Law, you pay nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fees come from your final settlement — not your pocket. If we don’t settle your case, you owe us nothing.
This ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. If you’ve been injured, there’s no risk in reaching out for a free consultation to learn how we can help.
