San Jose Soft Tissue Injury Lawyer: What is Soft Tissue Injury?

Soft tissue injury is damage of the soft tissue of the body. These type of injuries are a major source of pain and disability. It can be caused by either direct trauma or indirect trauma in connection with sports, accidents or factory workers. Insurance company’s treat soft tissue injury as minor injury and offer less for quick settlement.

However, we at the San Jose Soft Injury Law firm of Geoffrey Nwosu understand that severe injuries where the tissue has completely ruptured require surgery to sew the torn pieces back together. An infection may also develop from even the most minor soft tissue injury.
