When You Have Suffered a Soft Tissue and Muscle Injury: Get the Right Personal Injury Lawyers Working for You Now

Soft tissue and muscle injuries can happen as a result of a fall, an auto accident, playing sports, a blow to the body, a sudden twisting movement, or repeated overuse at your job. However it happens, you are left with injuries, pain and suffering, and sometimes lack of mobility.

Auto accident injuries often involve whiplash injuries to the neck or lower back. Injuries to the knees, shoulders or elbows can require long-term treatment and sometimes surgery.

Spinal injuries can be among the most serious soft tissue and muscle injuries, resulting in pain that radiates into the legs or arms.

soft tissue injuries

Soft-tissue injuries can come in many different forms, including:

  • Strain – due to a stretch in the muscle or tendon, or a partial or complete tear in muscle and tendon
  • Sprain – a sudden turn or twist that puts too much tension on the ligaments of the outer ankle, knee or wrist, twisting or tearing the ligaments
  • Contusions – bruising due to a blow to a muscle, tendon or ligament
  • Bursitis – a swelling of the bursa sac between the bone and a tendon or muscle
  • Tendonitis – inflammation of a tendon, the result of ongoing stresses to the tendon
  • Stress injuries – pain and swelling due to overuse[1]

GETTING THE TREATMENT—AND COMPENSATION—YOU NEED AND DESERVE

Therapy and rehabilitation can usually help restore full mobility. The challenge in these cases is to get insurance companies to pay for the long-term medical care your injuries will require.

Soft tissue and muscle injuries are among the most difficult injuries to prove in an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. Because these injuries do not show up on x-rays or MRIs, doctors have only the patient’s word regarding the extent of the pain they are experiencing.

Insurance companies will work hard to avoid paying for medical costs and lost income due to soft tissue and muscle injuries. They may claim that the injury was caused by something else, or that the vehicle involved in the accident was not damaged enough to prove claims of serious injury.
