We Can Help With All Types Of Accidents
Whether you’ve suffered an injury in an accident at work, because of medical negligence or you’ve been involved in a car crash, we are here to help you seek compensation for your suffering.
What Are Soft Tissue Injury Claims?
A soft tissue injury claim involves seeking compensation for damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons caused by an accident that was not your fault. These injuries often arise from road traffic collisions, slips, trips, or falls, affecting your ability to work and enjoy everyday activities. Soft tissue injury claims cover conditions such as:
Sprains and strains
Bruising related to soft tissues
The process begins by proving negligence or breach of duty by another party, linking it directly to your injury. Compensation considers factors like pain, suffering, and any financial losses you incur during recovery.

When Are Soft Tissue Injury Compensation Claims Possible?
You can claim compensation for a soft tissue injury when someone else’s negligence causes your injury. The injury must result from an accident where another party breached a duty of care towards you. Common scenarios include road traffic collisions, workplace accidents, or slips and trips in public places.
You don’t need visible signs to claim, as soft tissue injuries like strains, sprains, or whiplash affect muscles, ligaments, or tendons beneath the skin. Compensation covers pain, suffering, and any financial losses, such as medical costs or loss of earnings.
To make a successful soft tissue injury claim, you must demonstrate:
The other party acted negligently or breached safety regulations
The injury directly resulted from the accident
You have evidence such as medical reports or witness statements
If you’ve sustained a soft tissue injury and wonder if it qualifies for compensation, why not call today?
What Types of Accidents Can Result in Soft Tissue Injury Claims?
Soft tissue injury claims often arise from accidents where negligence causes harm to muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Typical accidents include:
Slips, trips, and falls on uneven or wet surfaces (e.g., sprained ankle)
Road traffic collisions, especially rear-end crashes causing whiplash (e.g., neck strain)
Workplace accidents involving manual handling or sudden jolts (e.g., pulled back muscle)
Sports injuries due to unsafe environments or equipment (e.g., torn ligament)
In each case, the accident must involve a breach of duty of care by another party to validate your claim. Visible bruising or swelling isn’t always present, so soft tissue injuries might not appear immediately after the incident.
If you’ve suffered in any of these scenarios, why not call today to see if you can start a soft tissue injury compensation claim?
Common Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injury claims cover a range of injuries affecting muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Typical examples include:
Bruising and contusions – caused by blunt force trauma during falls or collisions.
Tendonitis and bursitis – often linked to repetitive strain in workplace injuries.
Whiplash – common in rear-end road traffic collisions causing neck strain.
Sprains and strains – resulting from slips, trips, or manual handling accidents.
These injuries can cause pain, limited mobility, and prolonged recovery. You don’t need visible wounds to qualify for a soft tissue injury compensation claim, as many such injuries show symptoms only after some time.
If you’ve suffered one of these injuries due to someone else’s negligence, why not call today to see if you can start a soft tissue injury claim?
When Compensation For Soft Tissue Injuries Is Awarded, What Does It Include?
Compensation for a soft tissue injury covers several key areas related to the harm you’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence. It includes:
Out-of-pocket travel costs for getting to medical appointments.
Compensation for discomfort and distress from injuries like neck strain or torn ligaments.
Wages lost if your injuries keep you from working while you heal.
Expenses for medical care, including therapy sessions and prescriptions.
Support costs if you require assistance with everyday tasks.
Fees for rehabilitation services to help regain movement and ability.
The claim also considers the impact on your lifestyle, including any reduced ability to enjoy leisure activities. Compensation does not require visible injuries but depends on medical evidence supporting your injuries.
Your injury must link directly to the incident where negligence occurred, based on criteria under UK personal injury law.

How Long Do I Have To Claim For Soft Tissue Injuries?
You have three years from the date of the accident to submit a soft tissue injury claim. This time limit applies under the Limitation Act 1980, which governs most personal injury claims in England and Wales. Claims brought after this deadline risk being rejected by the courts, except in rare cases such as when the injury was undiscovered at the time or the claimant lacked mental capacity.
Urgency applies especially to soft tissue injuries such as whiplash or sprains, where symptoms might take time to appear. Starting the claims process promptly helps secure medical evidence and witness statements essential for proving negligence.
Keep in mind that accidents involving children have different time frames. For children, the clock starts on their 18th birthday, giving them until their 21st birthday to make a claim.
We are happy to check how long you have to claim if you call for a no-obligation initial consultation about your claim.
