Of course it is not too late. Neck symptoms may not show up for a week or two after the incident, but it does make it harder for insurance adjusters to accept as being related to the incident.

No it is not too late if you were injured due to the negligence of a property owner. However, there are certain questions that need to be asked, and answered. I am sorry I cannot be more specific because I need to know your specific circumstances to be more specific in your case.

You have 2 years from the date of loss to pursue a personal injury claim. The injuries must be related to the incident.

You have 2 years post incident to file suit for personal injuries that are causally related to the incident. However, the longer you wait to get treatment the better the defense argument that your need for medical care was not the result of this incident, but something else. You want to get medical treatment as soon as possible so your injury can be documented and treated.
