Soft Tissue Injuries and Chronic Pain
The “soft tissues” in your body include such things as muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, organs, and the discs in your spine. An injury to these tissues may not be as easy to identify as a broken bone, but the consequences can be every bit as serious, if not worse.
A very common type of soft tissue injury is referred to as “whiplash” or “whiplash associated disorder”. It is not uncommon for an individual involved in a car accident to be diagnosed with this type of injury.
Sometimes soft tissue injuries don’t heal properly. If that happens, it may lead to chronic pain which can be debilitating. Your injuries do not have to include a broken bone for them to be serious enough to justify an award of compensation to you. Our personal injury lawyers in Ottawa have successfully represented many clients with soft tissue injuries.
Ready To Get Started?
We have helped many individuals receive fair compensation for soft tissue injuries, such as whiplash injury, arising from car accidents, cycling accidents, trip or slip and falls, and other types of injury cases. This compensation can include amounts for pain and suffering, loss of income or earnings, housekeeping costs, and costs of medical care.
