What is a soft tissue injury?

If you were injured in a car accident, slip and fall accident, or any other personal injury accident your healthcare provider may have told you have a soft tissue injury. But what does that mean?

A soft tissue injury is damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments that could result in pain, swelling, bruising, and possibly loss of function. Common soft tissue injuries include, but are not limited to:

• Whiplash from a car accident
• Sprain or strain to a joint
• Contusions (bruises)

If you or a loved one was injured in an accident, an experienced and knowledgeable attorney can help you navigate your insurance claim.
