Not every serious injury shows up on an X-ray. Soft tissue injuries like whiplash, sprains, and strains can cause intense pain, long-term limitations, and lost income — even if they aren't "visible" injuries. At Davalos Legal, we stand up for Florida accident victims whose soft tissue injuries are often minimized by insurance companies. Attorney Jonny Davalos — your Law Hero — fights for full compensation, because pain you can’t see is still pain you live with every day.
What Are Soft Tissue Injuries?
Soft tissue injuries affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, including:
- Whiplash: Neck injury caused by sudden back-and-forth motion, common in rear-end crashes.
- Sprains: Stretched or torn ligaments (ankle, knee, wrist).
- Strains: Torn muscles or tendons.
- Contusions (bruises): Caused by blunt force trauma.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation from overuse or sudden trauma.
These injuries may seem "mild" at first but can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and significant life disruptions.
Common Causes of Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue damage often results from:
- Car accidents (especially rear-end collisions)
- Slip and fall accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Sports or recreational injuries
- Workplace accidents
Even low-speed accidents can cause major soft tissue damage — don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Symptoms of Soft Tissue Injuries
Symptoms can vary but often include:
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Swelling and bruising
- Muscle spasms
- Chronic headaches (especially after whiplash)
- Ongoing pain that worsens with activity
Many soft tissue injuries aren’t immediately obvious, and symptoms can take hours or even days to appear.
Why Soft Tissue Injury Claims Are Challenging
Insurance companies often dismiss soft tissue injuries because:
- They may not show up clearly on imaging tests (like X-rays).
- They rely on patient-reported symptoms.
- Adjusters argue they aren’t "serious" enough for big settlements.
At Davalos Legal, we know how to:
- Prove the seriousness of your injuries through medical records, therapy notes, and expert testimony
- Show how these injuries impact your work, daily life, and long-term health
- Demand real compensation — not insultingly low offers
Compensation Available for Soft Tissue Injury Victims
You may be entitled to damages for:
- Medical expenses (ER visits, therapy, pain management)
- Lost wages during recovery
- Pain and suffering
- Reduced earning ability (for long-term injuries)
- Future medical treatment needs
