Soft tissue injuries in Alabama Pedestrian Accidents



If you've been involved in a pedestrian accident in Alabama, particularly a motorcycle versus pedestrian accident, the physical and psychological pain can be overwhelming. One of the most common bodily injuries suffered in these cases is soft tissue damage. Expert personal injury lawyer Stephen Thompson is proud to offer his comprehensive legal expertise to help you navigate this traumatic time and secure the compensation you rightly deserve.

Definition and Types of Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries refer to any damage inflicted on muscles, tendons, and ligaments— the 'soft' areas of your body, as opposed to hard bone. The most common soft tissue injuries in pedestrian accidents include strains, sprains, contusions, and whiplash injuries.

A strain is an injury to the muscle or tendon, commonly caused by overuse, overstretching or excessive force. A sprain, on the other hand, refers to an injury to the ligaments, often resulting from a fall, twist, or impact. Contusions or bruises occur when small blood vessels beneath the skin rupture due to impact. Lastly, whiplash injuries affect the neck's soft tissues and are typically the result of a sudden, forceful back-and-forth movement.

Why Soft Tissue Injuries Need Serious Attention

Often, victims of pedestrian accidents underestimate soft tissue injuries because they're not visible like broken bones. However, soft tissue injuries can cause severe, debilitating pain and may lead to long-term complications such as chronic pain or mobility disabilities if not promptly and properly treated. 

Soft tissue injury symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and loss of function. However, some injuries may not show symptoms immediately— another reason why seeking medical attention after any pedestrian accident is vital.
