What Are Soft Tissue Injuries?

In the aftermath of a commercial truck accident, you may have been told by a physician that you suffered soft tissue injury. If you are like most people, you may be uncertain as to exactly what is meant by a soft tissue injury diagnosis. Oftentimes, a person is unnecessarily dismissive of a soft tissue injury.

Although soft tissue injury arising from a semi-truck accident is not as serious as some other types of injuries associated with big rig collisions, soft tissue injury is not something that should be dismissed.

Soft tissue is the tissue in your body that connects, supports, or surrounds other structures, and organs, within your body. Examples of soft tissue include ligaments, fascia, skin, tendons, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes. Any or all of these different types of soft tissue are subject to injury in a commercial truck accident.

As you consider your legal options, and how a commercial truck accident injury lawyer can assist you in protecting your legal rights, you need to understand some basics about soft tissue injury. In the case of a commercial truck accident, there are four types of soft tissue injuries that commonly occur, according to the John Hopkins University School of Medicine.

They are:

• contusion
• sprain
• strain
• stress fracture

A contusion is injury to soft tissue that is caused by blunt force. Blunt force normally is an underlying element of a big rig accident.

A sprain is an injury to a ligament. A sprain typically is caused by a twist or wrench, which are also associated in many cases with a semi-truck accident.

A strain is a soft tissue injury associated with the muscle or tendon. A stress fracture is small crack in a bone, but nevertheless normally is classified as a soft tissue injury.

Compensation in a Truck Accident Injury Case

The facts and circumstances of the accident, and the nature and extent of your injuries, dictate the compensation to which you are entitled in an insurance settlement or lawsuit judgment.

With that in mind, common types of losses for which we obtain compensation for a client in a case that involves soft tissue injury include:

• pain and suffering
• medical bills and expenses
• physical therapy costs
• occupational therapy costs
• mental anguish and emotional distress
• lost wages
• property damage

Although a person like you that suffers from soft tissue injury typically can recover faster that if afflicted with fractured bones, internal organ damage, and other types of traumatic injury, recovery still takes time. Medical care and treatment can continue into the future. Soft tissue injury can prove painful.

Because issues associated with soft tissue injury can carry on into the future, a truck accident injury lawyer from our firm will fight to ensure that you obtain appropriate compensation for these future losses. The legal team at The Doan Law Firm makes certain you fully are covered.
