Can I File a Claim for Soft Tissue Injuries?

In a car accident, you can never be too sure what type of injury you may sustain. Some of them can be catastrophic, while others may be considered soft tissue injuries. While soft tissue injuries may not have the same label as severe damages, they can have a significant impact on your claim.

Our team can help you understand what soft tissue injuries are and how they impact your claim. They may not be visible, but the damages can diminish your quality of life.

What Are Soft Tissue Injuries?

Soft tissue injuries are those that you may not be able to see. However, it’s easy to understand how these types of injuries can occur in car accidents. Each of these soft tissue injuries varies in severity and classification, and the more serious injuries can impact mobility while causing severe pain.

Soft tissue injuries include:

  • Sprains
  • Strains
  • Tendon damage
  • Pulled muscles

Soft tissue injuries can also cause internal bleeding around the injury location, also known as a contusion.

How Do They Impact a Claim?

Insurance companies don’t look at soft tissue injuries in the same way that they do the more catastrophic damages. They may try to downplay how severe these injuries are and offer you much less money as part of their settlement offer. However, there’s no downplaying how these types of injuries can impact your emotional and financial status.

You can still seek compensation for your damages, even if they are soft tissue injuries. You deserve to have legal counsel represent your rights and safeguard you from insurance adjusters who may try to take advantage of you during a challenging situation.
