Even stars can claim for neck injuries

Claimants can claim compensation for neck injuries sustained in many different types of accident: car crashes, workplace incidents and falls from height are just three of many possible examples.

However, there are circumstances where it will not be possible for people to commence litigation for neck injuries, even if they are celebrities

Take the case of pop star and Genesis drummer Phil Collins. In 2009 he indicated that, sadly, he will probably never again to be able to play drums because of damage sustained to his spine as a result of many years hard-drumming.

The star explained, "My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in.

"It comes from years of playing. I can't even hold the sticks properly without it being painful; I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through."

Hollywood heartthrob, Matt Damon, is another celebrity to suffer such an injury without standing a chance of claiming any compensation. The 36-year-old Bourne Identity star suffered a painful pinched nerve while bottle-feeding his 14-month-old daughter. "My 14-month old daughter Isabella did me in - something no killer can," said Damon.

But being a celebrity by no means precludes a person from receiving compensation for an injury suffered to the neck. There are many examples of both professional sportspeople and professional entertainers being compensated for physical injuries incurred during the course of their respective employments. Indeed, the examples are far too numerous to mention.
