Synonyms:
minor injury, minor injuries
Soft tissue damages, sometimes called minor injuries, refer to injuries affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Examples include sprains, strains, and whiplash. Such injuries are common in motor vehicle accidents. In Alberta, compensation for a soft tissue injury claim may be capped by Alberta’s Minor Injury Regulation. However, insurance companies may wrongly insist that the Minor Injury Regulation caps the available compensation. Injury victims should take advantage of a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer to find out if they are actually entitled to more compensation for their injuries.
