Neck Injury Lawyers
Along with back injuries, neck injuries sustained on the job are among the most common type of work-related injury. Without warning, employees may experience sharp, sudden pain during a car accident on the job. This could be from malfunctioning machinery, equipment or during a work-related slip or fall. In other cases, however, symptoms may begin with mild neck tenderness that becomes a serious or debilitating condition over time. Thus, because of the nature of work-related neck injuries, an experienced neck injury lawyer is necessary to investigate your injury and work towards helping you receive the maximum level of benefits.
Consider the following types of work-related neck injuries:
- Whiplash or whiplash associated disorders – Often caused by car accidents, falls, or other trauma, whiplash related injuries range from neck strain or sprain to damage to the joints, cervical discs or spinal cord.
- Herniated disc – Can be caused by heavy lifting or repetitive movements involving a twisting motion.
- Neck fracture – As a break in the cervical bone, a neck fracture can be caused by a fall or direct impact. Neck fractures are associated with neck dislocation, in which the ligaments rupture.
- Spinal cord injury – Neck injuries may result in damage to the spinal cord. Depending on the level of injury, this could lead to paralysis, disability or death, particularly if the spinal cord is damaged at the 3rd cervical vertebra or above.
If you have suffered a neck injury on the job, it is imperative that you tell your employer and seek immediate medical attention. While your pain may be mild, it can worsen over time and lead to a serious injury that requires you to take time off of work.
With a devotion to personal injury and workers’ compensation cases, CFJ Injury Lawyers in North Charleston understands the course of work-related neck injuries, as well as the many complexities, deadlines and legal regulations related to obtaining medical and wage benefits.

We Ensure Injured Workers’ Rights Are Protected
South Carolina’s Workers’ Compensation Act is developed to protect the rights of employees injured on the job. Yet, it’s not safe to assume that full compensation will be awarded for expensive medical bills, rehabilitation, loss of wages, disability or impairment. Workers’ compensation is a complicated process, riddled with regulations, deadlines and the possibility of a claim being denied. This is why the team at CFJ Injury Lawyers works to ensure that workers’ rights are protected in the wake of their work-related neck injury.
We also understand that early symptoms of a neck injury can mask potentially serious conditions, some of which are life altering. Thus, early medical attention and appropriate documentation are critical to obtaining benefits if an injured employee is out of work for an extended amount of time. In turn, if a third party, company or manufacturer contributed to your neck injury, you may be entitled to pursue a personal injury claim as an opportunity to recover compensation for pain and suffering.
Whatever the case, CFJ Injury Lawyers is happy to explore your injury and alleviate any stress related to your claim. With a strong record of advocacy, both inside and outside of the courtroom, we understand how the system works, and we aim to make things right again.

Hope MishlanLove this firm and would use again if I needed representation in the future
Jose Humberto Solís JiménezIs the best atornyes ,thanks for help me
Faith CenobioThey really took care of me when I was hurt on the job and recovering from my injury.
James JerrelsI feel very blessed to have found CFJ attorneys. From the first meeting and throughout the entire process I felt important to them. Lisa was very attentive with her dedication and communication with me. Not only would I use them in the future. I will highly recommend them to everyone I know.
Jaimie CatoeCFJ Injury Lawyers and their team are great! Cathy and Lisa are who I spoke with the most. They took care of me and were so understanding of my crazy work schedule and took that into consideration when contacting me! I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my case.
Debbie KelcyMy husband and I have used Wern Law for over 25 years. So when we needed an attorney in 2018 we did not hesitate. Catherine has always handled our cases, and since the firm has "changed hands" from Richard to Catherine, she has gotten a few new associates in the group and hasn't missed a beat. If we ever need to have representation again, this is the only law firm we will use. If you need an attorney for other issues that they do not specialize in, rest assured they will give you excellent advice and good direction. I won't go on blast for the dirty underhanded attorneys and the likes who played games with clients as well as Richard and Catherine. So, if you happen to run across one of them that bad mouth CFI or their staff, run... CFI is very fair and ALWAYS have your best interest at heart. This firm are not ambulance chasers. They rely on word of mouth for advertising.
Rodney MandervilleRichard and his firm/Family have "Always" been there for me and my family as well as those I've referred to his Council. Through good times as well as tough times for literally 20 years. He has always delivered and even more so has become a Great Friend. The information may not always be what you desire to hear but you can be assured that they will be professional and tactful they insure that you are never caught off guard and, that you are thoroughly prepared and informed for any and all matters that may arise throughout your case. In a word "OUTSTANDING"!
Tiffany MillerVery professional staff, knows everyone's name no matter if you've been there only once! You get more than just an attorney; you get a support system and a friend (the type of friend if you're down in the trenches, he's there with you strategizing a way out). You really know that Richard is handling your case as best he can without question. I have used several different law firms in the past and I would recommend this law firm, seeing first-hand the length he goes to for his clients. He also has spanish speaking staff, I would highly recommend Nicole!!!
Larry ConnerI met Richard through my daughter. I fell 8 feet in February 2011 and broke the L2 vertebra in my back!! Over a period of two years, I realized I was going to need help. I came to meet with Richard to talk about my accident. It was the best thing I ever did! My case went on for a little over 3 years and I am very pleased with the outcome Richard helped me obtain. He is an excellent attorney!
Kishawna BonaparteOur experience with Richard Wern Lawyers was exceptional and phenomenal. Every one there was extremely caring and attentive to our each and every single need and want from the friendly receptionist to the Paralegal and Lawyer himself, Mr. Richard Wern, Esq. Whenever a problem arose, his staff was fully prepared to handle whatever the issue was very prompt and tactfully. I would HIGHLY recommend Richard Wern Lawyers to my friends and family for their workers comp. or personal injury needs. Richard Wern Lawyers is rated top 5 in my book. Thanks for everything, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest (Kashawna) Googe
