The collision may have lasted only a few seconds. Recovery is often much longer. Soft tissue injuries are among the most common injuries after a motor vehicle accident. They can affect the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck, back, and shoulders. While these injuries may not always be visible on an X-ray, they can still cause lasting pain and require ongoing medical treatment or physical therapy. Don't judge the seriousness of your injuries by how quickly the accident happened or how little damage you see to your vehicle. If you've been hurt in a crash, get evaluated by a medical professional and understand your options before speaking with the insurance company. The Cottle Firm. Experience. Compassion. Results.
