Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers Serving All of Georgia Including Cumming and Alpharetta
Soft tissue injuries refer to muscle, tendon, nerve, and ligament damage. Depending on the extent of the injury, tissue injuries can cause pain, swelling and loss of function, and are usually the result of tears, sprains, and strains on the body. It can be hours or days after an accident that a person realizes soft tissue has been damaged. Even though the injury can be extremely debilitating, it cannot be seen on an x-ray.
The term “soft tissue injury” refers to a family of related types of injuries that include whiplash. With this type of injury, it can be difficult to gather medical evidence of the extent of your pain. Additionally, your pain might not arise until some time has passed since the accident that caused it, making it tricky to trace your pain to the accident itself.
When the accident was someone else’s fault, however, justice demands a response. Problems like these are common for personal injury lawyers like us, and it is our job to solve them. In fact, solving such problems on behalf of injured victims is exactly what we do all day, every day. And we always represent victims, not defendants.
What Are Soft Tissue Injuries?
There are many different types of soft tissue injuries, including:
- Hyperextension – damage to ligaments in the elbow when it is pushed back or turned the wrong way.
- Musculoskeletal – caused by repetitive motion, exertion, and/or stress on a part of the body
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – muscle weakness, pain, tingling, and other sensations in the wrist that is caused by nerve compression
- Brachial Plexus Lesion Injury – nerve damage along the spine, neck and arms
- Rotator Cuff Injuries – injury involving the shoulder
