5 Common Soft Tissue Injuries after a Baltimore Auto Accident

Soft tissue injuries from a Baltimore auto accident can be more difficult to prove than those such as broken bones or traumatic head injuries, but they are still painful injuries that can interfere with your life. Insurance companies, however, are quick to minimize the severity of soft tissue injuries, so if you've sustained one in a crash, contact a team of Baltimore, Maryland lawyers who will fight for your right to compensation if your injury was caused by someone else. 

After a Baltimore Auto Accident: Common Soft Tissue Injuries 

The 5 most common soft tissue injuries that result from car crashes are: 

• Bursitis - bursa sacs between the tendon and bone can become irritated or swollen at the joints;
• Contusions - ligaments, muscles and tissue become seriously bruised, causing blood pooling and sometimes permanent tissue damage;
• Ligament sprains - the tissue that supports the joint becomes irritated. These can range from minor injuries that only need to be iced to serious tears that require surgery;
• Muscle strains - muscle or tendon tissue can be over-extended or even torn; and
• Whiplash - a neck injury that occurs when the head is forced quickly forward and backwards, extending the tissue in the neck rapidly. 

If you are suffering from any of these injuries, seek medical attention immediately, and if someone else caused your accident, contact a team of Baltimore, Maryland, lawyers.
