Can I still receive a settlement if I do not have any physical evidence of my injuries?

Understanding Soft Tissue Injuries

If you’ve been in an accident and are concerned because there is no physical evidence of your injuries, you might be wondering if you can still receive a settlement. The answer is yes—you absolutely can.

Why Soft Tissue Injuries Matter

Not every injury from an accident shows up on an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan. These imaging tests are excellent for diagnosing fractures or structural damage, but they often miss what are known as soft tissue injuries. These injuries, like whiplash or back strains, don’t always appear on imaging tests but can still be very real and painful.

The Reality of Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries may not have the same visibility as broken bones or severe injuries, but they are no less significant. Many people have experienced and successfully claimed compensation for injuries that don’t show up on standard scans. There’s a wealth of medical literature that supports the reality of these injuries, demonstrating their impact and the time needed for recovery. In some cases, these injuries can even be permanent.
