Whiplash and other soft-tissue injuries are among the most common results of car crashes, yet they're frequently dismissed by insurers as minor. In reality, these injuries can cause lasting pain and disability.
Under Massachusetts's no-fault system, recovering for pain and suffering generally requires meeting the injury threshold — typically more than $2,000 in reasonable medical expenses, or specific serious injuries. Soft-tissue injuries can meet this threshold, but documentation is key.
Because soft-tissue damage doesn't always appear on initial imaging, consistent medical treatment and detailed records are vital. Gaps in treatment give insurers an opening to argue the injury wasn't serious.
An attorney can help ensure soft-tissue injuries are properly documented and valued, countering insurer tactics designed to minimize legitimate claims.
