How Victims Get Hurt and What They Can Claim
Soft tissue injuries are common at the workplace from several causes, which include:
- Walking into blunt objects such as walls, furniture, and doors
- Machine entanglement can sprain, crush, and twist body ligaments, causing soft tissue injuries
- Falling objects from heights
- Repetitive motion causes muscles and tendons to result in soft tissue injuries
- Reaction injuries are tripping or slipping without hitting the floor
- Highway incident
In a soft tissue injury lawsuit, you may be seeking compensation for expenses and losses like these:
- Lost income
- Disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Lost income
- Medical expenses
- Loss of future income
- Rehabilitation
How to Prove Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries can be difficult to prove, and you must seek medical treatment immediately to have evidence. Your attorney can help you collect key evidence like this:
- Photographs
- CCTV footage from the crime scene
- Accident book records
- Witness statements
- Medical reports from a professional doctor
How to Know If You’re Eligible for Compensation
You might be entitled to compensation if the cause of the accident is due to someone else’s negligence, and you can prove that. Additionally, you must file your lawsuit within two years of the accident, or you will be barred from seeking compensation.
Proving the Seriousness of a Soft-tissue Injury
You can prove the seriousness of soft tissue injuries depending on several different factors, such as:
- The extent of soft tissue injuries requires extensive treatment to progress in the recovery process.
- The duration, frequency, and intensity of pain because of the injuries to the soft tissue
- How the soft tissue injuries affect or restrict your strength, posture, and range of motion tolerance
- The impact the soft tissue injuries have on your daily life

Our Soft Tissue Injury Attorney Serving Tarrant County Can Help With Your Claim
If you’re ready to move forward with a case, our lawyers can be a major advantage in the claims process. Here’s how we can help:
- Represent you in your trials
- Negotiate a settlement
- Prepare legal documentation and paperwork
- Prepare you for court appearances
- Communicate with the other parties, insurance companies, judges, and attorneys on your behalf
Your Attorney Can Handle Communications with the Insurance Company
The insurance company will complicate the process, making it harder for you to get the compensation you deserve. We will be there to advocate for you if the insurance company:
- Refuses to take responsibility for the cause of the accident
- Claims you are the cause of the accident and not their client
- Claims there is a gap in the medical treatment, and you worsened your injuries to get a higher amount of compensation
- Refuses to accept the severity of your injuries and the cost of medication
Before you sign any agreement with the insurance agent, have one of our lawyers interpret policies or legal jargon that could lower the compensation amount.
Compensation Amounts for Soft Tissue Injuries
Depending on the soft tissue injuries, there are different amounts of compensation one can receive.
- For the minor soft tissue injuries on the neck, the compensation would be significantly more than soft tissue injuries on the chest.
- And soft tissue injuries on the back often cause severe pain, which increases the potential amount exponentially.
- But if you rupture your ligaments on the feet, you’ll likely get more than a minor soft tissue injury on the back.
The amount you can receive for soft tissue injuries depends on the actual expenses, estimated financial losses, and the seriousness of your injuries. Our Fort Worth soft tissue injury lawyer can comb through evidence to determine an accurate estimation for your financial settlement.
