It is important to have a lawyer for your soft tissue injury claim because you may have the right to collect financial compensation to recover your losses—and a lawyer can help you seek the best possible results. Additionally, having a lawyer on your side can help you avoid several common setbacks associated with these kinds of injury cases.
A personal injury attorney from our team can help you understand your rights and your legal options. Our team has experience with soft tissue injury claims and similar cases, so we can apply our past experience to your unique situation. We also offer free consultations for new clients so you can feel confident in your next steps forward.
Soft Tissue Injuries Can Require Expensive Medical Treatments
Soft tissue injuries are injuries to muscles and tendons. Some of the most common forms of soft tissue injuries are sprains and strains. These kinds of injuries can be caused by trauma to the soft tissue, such as during a car accident. They can also be caused by repeated use through stressful activities such as exercise, along with other incidents.
As Johns Hopkins Medicine points out, some serious soft tissue injuries may require intensive medical intervention, such as surgery. Such treatments can get expensive—and our legal team can pursue the compensation you need to cover it.
A Lawyer Can Help You Seek Fair Compensation With a Soft Tissue Injury Claim
As with other personal injury cases, a soft tissue injury claim can allow you to seek compensation to recover your injury-related costs and losses. With settlement funds or court-awarded damages, you may be able to cover your medical expenses and account for other losses.
With a lawyer on your side, you will have someone to determine the worth of your claim and fight for every dollar available in your case. Without legal guidance, you may not know what your claim is truly worth—and you could leave compensation on the table if you accept a low settlement offer.
Your Soft Tissue Injury Claim May Recover the Following Losses, Damages, and Expenses:
- Ongoing medical care
- X-rays and operations
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation programs
- Medical devices
- Prescription medications
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma
When we calculate your damages in an injury case, we will factor in the costs of your injuries in the past, present, and future. You shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket for the costs of your future medical care, for instance. A lawyer from our team will work to seek all damages you qualify for.
A Lawyer Will Determine Who Is Liable for Your Injuries and Other Damages
Liability is a complex legal subject when you are facing a soft tissue injury claim. We will investigate your accident and determine who can be held liable. Depending on your accident type, one or more parties may be deemed liable:
- A grocery store owner may be liable for leaving a leaking cooler that caused your trip and fall.
- A dog owner could be liable for the dog bite that caused your sprained wrist and other soft tissue injuries.
- A rideshare company’s insurance policy could be liable for your car accident injuries.
Our team of lawyers will examine all possible angles of your case to determine who is responsible. We will collect evidence and interview witnesses as needed to establish a liable party.
Often, liable parties will try to avoid or downplay responsibility for an injury case. We will work to prove that their negligence was the cause of your losses and seek fair compensation for you.
Let Your Legal Team Deal With Insurance Companies and Other Parties
Our lawyers at Loncar Lyon Jenkins know how hard it can be for you as the victim of a soft tissue injury. These kinds of cases often get even tougher once insurance companies and third parties become involved. We are here to take this weight off of you by communicating with all related parties for you.
In some cases, insurance companies may try to push back against your claim for compensation when you’re facing soft tissue injuries. We will prove the extent of your losses and show the way your injuries have impacted your life.
It can be especially helpful to have a lawyer for your soft tissue injury claim during the settlement process. Trying to negotiate with these parties alone is often challenging and stressful. With one of our lawyers fighting for you, you can remove this complication from your life.
