Soft Tissue Injuries
Car accidents can leave varying degrees of personal injury and property damage in their wake. There are around 3,892 car accidents resulting in personal injuries every year, with 6,139 people injured in St. Louis, Missouri alone. Soft tissue injuries are among the most common types of personal injuries sustained in car accidents and involve varying degrees of damage to our bodies' soft or connective tissues, like muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, brain, fascia, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, etc.
Soft tissue damage can also result in minor or severe injuries like sprains, strains, whiplashes, contusions, tendonitis, and bursitis. These kinds of injuries often take time to manifest and can be very hard to prove for someone who has recently been involved in a car crash. It is best to get advice from an experienced lawyer to get fair compensation.
Why Do You Need a Lawyer?
Soft tissue injuries can initially seem deceptively minor and rarely get the necessary attention. These are some of the reasons you will need a dedicated lawyer to ensure you get fair compensation:
Negligible Symptoms
Adrenaline may mask pain initially. Minor signs like swelling or stiffness often cause victims to miss early medical treatment.
Late Manifestation
Soft tissue damage often has no immediate symptoms, manifesting days or weeks later, leading at-fault parties to dispute the cause.
Difficult Diagnosis
Standard imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans can easily miss soft tissue damage, making it a difficult battle to prove without expert help.
No PIP in Missouri
Missouri lacks Personal Injury Protection. While MedPay covers hospital bills, it doesn't compensate for wage loss or assistance costs.
Considerable Medical Costs
Healing may require multiple diagnoses, medicine, physical therapy, or chiropractic care, leading to significant out-of-pocket expenses.
At-Fault State Rules
Missouri is an at-fault state. Insurance companies will often try to reduce your settlement or shift blame to minimize their payout.
Expert Negotiation
From filing lawsuits to negotiating with aggressive insurance agents, an experienced attorney ensures you aren't exploited and get the best outcome.
