Some aspects of accidents are easy to see, like skid marks, damaged guardrail, and dented cars. Even cuts, abrasions, and some broken bones can be detected by the naked eye. Too often, though, other damages, particularly those to the human body, may be lurking in the background. They may not surface until well after the accident, and they often cannot be seen at all. These types of injuries are known as “soft tissue injuries.” Soft tissue injuries are common after car wrecks, as well as other types of accidents. The most common soft tissue injury is whiplash, which occurs when the head is shaken back and forth after a severe impact.
