Snow and Soft Tissue Injuries
Published on 01/17/08 03:07PM by Bruce A. BierhansYou're sitting at a redlight and it's snowing. You get clocked in the rear end by another car. You feel ok and get out and tell all at the scene that you think you're ok.
Two days later, you wake up feeling fatigued; your back hurts and you have a headache. Sound familiar? You likely have what is known as a "soft tissue" injury. Although defense lawyers try to minimze these injuries by employing the "W" (whiplash) word, your physician or other health care practitioner will tell you that this tearing or stretching of muscles can be disabling and that the injury can take months or years to heal. You may experience a restriction in your activities and may also lose time from work.
Our office has 26 years of experience in successfully handling hundreds of these cases; explaining the medical issues to judges juries, and obtaining successful results, either by way of settlement, mediation , arbitration or trial. Feel free to call to discuss your case.
