Seemingly Minor Injuries Can Be the Most Debilitating
In any type of accident, whether it’s a motor vehicle collision, a slip and fall or a work-related mishap, chances are good that you’ll suffer some type of soft-tissue injury. Sometimes it will be easy to see—you may have scratches, cuts or bruises from impact with a stationary object. Often, though, soft-tissue injuries are almost invisible. You can feel the pain and it keeps you from doing the things you love, but there’s no outward sign of any trauma. When soft-tissue injuries cause you pain and suffering, lost time at work or otherwise keep you from actively participating in your life, you have a right to seek compensation for your losses. You want the proven personal injury attorneys at the Law Office of Michael R. De La Paz.
What Is a Soft-Tissue Injury?
Soft tissue injury involves any type of trauma to tendons, ligaments, muscles and other connective tissue, as well as cartilage. Soft tissue injuries are the most common complaint after a motor vehicle accident. Furthermore, it’s estimated that more than 80% of all auto-accident-related soft-tissue injuries can cause long-term discomfort or impact on your life.
The Common Types of Soft-Tissue Injuries
Many of the typical soft-tissue injuries stem from either impact with a foreign object or the effects of a sudden stop or change of direction. Common conditions include:
- Torn, sprained or strained ligaments
- Torn, bruised or pulled muscles
- Tendonitis or bursitis (an inflammation of the bursa, found throughout the body, typically near your large joints)
- Whiplash-like symptoms, caused by the sudden or violent snapping of your head back and forth in any type of accident
