Soft Tissue Injuries — Common And Painful After Traffic Accidents

Many injuries after an accident are immediately apparent, such as broken bones, punctured organs and amputated limbs. However, there are some dangerous injuries that are not easily noticed: soft tissue injuries. These injuries do not reveal themselves right away or to the naked eye at all, which can turn even injuries that are not life-threatening into ones that can be extremely complicated.

Some types of soft tissue injuries are more common than others. After events like a car accident, or something like a slip and fall while working, you may experience an injury such as:

• Bruising
• Injuries to your eye
• Neck and upper torso injuries
• Strains and sprains
• Whiplash
• Cut or torn skin
• Permanent burns or scars
• Penetration
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Bite injuries

These injuries can often call for treatments such as pain medication, icing, elevation, and extended rest. They can also call for chiropractic measures, as well as physical therapy.

Rely On The Man They Call ‘Mister Soft Tissue’

When you file a claim for lost time and medical expenses, be aware that insurance companies will offer you a lowball settlement, if anything. They will say your injury isn’t serious, it’s just a scratch, etc. That’s where an experienced soft tissue injury lawyer like me, Jeff Pheffer, comes in. I know how to represent the full cost of these injuries, including mental anguish if your injury had that result.

If your injury set you back, and it was the result of someone’s carelessness or indifference, you are entitled to compensation. To learn more, talk to me at Pheffer Law in Los Angeles, California, at 310-909-7801.
