Types of Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries may include stress fractures, sprains, contusions, inflamed joints, or strained ligaments and tendons. At Ponce Law, we handle a variety of soft tissue injury cases, such as:

• Cervical Disc Injuries
  Cervical discs act like shock absorbers in your neck. Accident trauma can damage or tear these discs, causing extreme pain throughout your upper body.
• Knee Ligament Injuries 
  The knee is the largest joint in the body, and injuries to cartilage, muscles, and ligaments can be debilitating and require surgery to repair.
• Shoulder Injuries
  Shoulder injuries can limit the movement of your arms, and surgeries required to repair serious shoulder injuries can require months of physical rehabilitation.
• Whiplash
  Whiplash describes painful neck injuries caused by the head being thrown backwards or sideways during an accident. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, and nausea.

Whether you’re suffering from a serious joint injury or severe neck pain, our soft tissue injury attorneys want to help you hold the parties who caused your accident legally responsible for their negligence.

How to Diagnose a Soft Tissue Injury

Soft tissue damage can be difficult to diagnose because it may not be visible to the naked eye and doesn’t typically show on a standard x-ray. But these “invisible” injuries can still cause victims a great deal of pain. Symptoms of a soft tissue injury may include:

• Pain
• Limited range of motion
• Joint instability
• Inability to bear weight
• Stiffness in the limbs
• Tingling or numbness in the limbs
• Swelling or bruising
• A loud popping or snapping sound at the time of the injury

Your doctor may order an MRI or CT scan to detect soft tissue damage.

Why You Need a Lawyer After a Soft Tissue Injury

Insurance companies take a hard stance on soft tissue claims because they can be so difficult to prove.  Insurance companies may try to reduce or deny your claim because soft tissue cases have a reputation of victims falsifying or exaggerating their injuries. That means it can be difficult to convince the insurance company or a judge or jury without a lawyer on your side.

For this reason, it is extremely important to see a doctor who can diagnose your injury as soon as possible after an accident. Medical records will serve as important evidence in your compensation claim.

An experienced personal injury lawyer may be able to provide additional evidence in the form of expert testimony on how the accident may have caused the injury or statistics showing the injury is typical for that type of accident.
