Soft Tissue Injuries and Chronic Pain
Soft tissue injuries refer to damage or trauma to the muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, organs, and spinal discs in your body. While they may not be as visible as broken bones, the impact can be just as severe, if not worse.
In some cases, soft tissue injuries may not heal properly or there may be reduced function and scar tissue, leading to chronic pain that can be debilitating. It’s important to note that you don’t need a broken bone to justify compensation for your injuries. Our experienced personal injury lawyers in Ottawa have successfully represented accident victims with soft tissue injuries, advocating for their rights and securing the compensation they deserve.
If you have suffered from a soft tissue injury due to an accident or negligence, our dedicated legal team here at McNally Gervan is ready to help. We understand the complexities of these cases and will work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected. Contact us today to discuss your situation and explore your options for seeking the compensation you are entitled to.
Common Causes of Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries, such as sprains, strains, ligament tears, dislocated joints, contusions and more, can have various causes, often resulting from accidents or repetitive strain.
Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of soft tissue injuries. Whiplash or whiplash-associated disorder, caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration forces, is a prevalent soft tissue injury resulting from car collisions. Slip-and-fall accidents, whether on icy surfaces, wet floors, or uneven ground, also contribute to a significant number of soft tissue injuries in Canada.
In addition to car accidents and falls, workplace incidents contribute to soft tissue injuries, particularly in industries that involve manual labor or repetitive tasks. Overexertion, heavy lifting, awkward postures, and insufficient breaks can lead to chronic soft tissue injuries like tendonitis or bursitis.
Soft tissue injuries can also result from assault or physical altercations, where the impact or force exerted on the body can cause damage to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons.
If you have suffered a soft tissue injury due to someone’s negligence or direct actions, seeking legal assistance is crucial. Our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers can help evaluate your case, gather evidence, and pursue compensation for your pain, suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.
