Car accidents can result in many debilitating injuries, including soft tissue injuries. Soft tissue injuries often go unnoticed, unlike visible injuries such as bone fractures. However, these injuries can cause discomfort and long-term pain if not properly diagnosed and treated.

If you have suffered a soft tissue injury in a Spartanburg car accident, you should consult an attorney to learn your legal options to get the compensation you deserve.

What are Soft Tissue Injuries?

Soft tissue injuries describe the damage inflicted on the soft tissues in the body, which occur around the ligaments, tendons, muscles, and connective tissues. These injuries usually occur due to sudden or excessive force, such as the impact often experienced in car accidents. The common types of soft tissue injuries include:

• Sprains and strains
• Stress injuries
• Tendonitis
• Ligament tears
• Contusions

How Do I Know If I Have A Soft Tissue Injury?

Soft tissue injuries can vary in severity, ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain. Although these injuries may not present symptoms immediately, there are signs to check out.

The common symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, pain, bruising, numbness, loss of balance, and difficulty moving the affected area. If you experience any of these symptoms after a car accident, you may need to consider a medical evaluation to diagnose soft tissue injuries accurately.

If you suspect you may have sustained a soft tissue injury following a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. A healthcare professional can conduct an extensive examination and provide appropriate treatment options to address your specific soft tissue injury.

Establishing Fault In A Soft Tissue Injury

If you or a loved one has suffered soft tissue damage in a car accident caused by another person's negligence, you may have a right to pursue compensation through a personal injury claim. However, to launch a successful claim, you must demonstrate that the defendant was responsible for your injuries. According to South Carolina's car accident laws, you must prove that:

• The responsible party owed you a duty to be reasonably careful
• The responsible party failed to honor this duty
• The responsible party's actions were the primary cause of your soft tissue damage
• Your injuries and losses were caused by the negligence of the at-fault party
