Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries in Car Accidents
A soft tissue injury, as the name implies, impacts your body’s connective or soft tissues. If you experience these injuries, you will likely experience swelling, soreness, discoloration, and a limited range of motion in the affected area. Many of these injuries will not show symptoms for 24 to 48 hours after the incident occurs. You must not dismiss the aches and pains that develop after a car accident. Even if they seem minor, you need a medical evaluation and treatment.
