Soft tissue injuries are very common in car accidents,truck accidents
motorcycle accidents, and slip&fall incidents. If you are
involved in an accident and receive a diagnosis from a hospital or urgent care center of a
"sprain" or "strain", you may have a soft-tissue injury.
Pain, inflammation,
and stress on the muscles and nerves can be very serious. Despite
what a car insurance claim adjuster says, soft tissue injuries in most cases are
progressive and permanent. Major soft tissue injuries can include whiplash or a herniated and/or bulging disc
Treatment for a soft tissue injury may include chiropractic physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases surgery.
If you have pain that radiates from a muscle, this can be a
symptom of a very serious neurological problem. A soft tissue injury lawyer will even the playing field
with a claim adjuster. Now more than ever, insurance companies are
fighting soft tissue claims, claiming that these injuries resolve
themselves with time and require no medical treatment. Unfortunately
for most victims of a car accident, this is not always the case.
It takes very little force to cause soft tissue damage. The muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints can be torn even in low-speed car accidents. In fact, the minor impact soft tissue
(MIST) claim can lead to medical treatment in excess
of $20,000.
Many weeks of physical therapy and pain management can
cost tens of thousands of dollars. Please do not believe insurance
claim adjusters who tells you that you cannot be seriously hurt in a
low-speed car accident.
That argument makes no sense medically or physically.
Orthopedists and neurologists will testify, under oath, that there is
absolutely no correlation between property damage (the wrecked cars) and
the extent of your injury. Basically, you can be seriously hurt in a
car accident where the vehicles were traveling at speeds less than
15mph.
