Key Features to Look for in a St. Louis Soft Tissue Injury Attorney
Johns Hopkins Medicine indicates that soft tissue injuries include bruises or contusions; sprains; bursitis; tendonitis; and repetitive stress injuries. Even in relatively mild cases, these injuries can have you off your feet and unable to work or earn income for weeks or months. In severe cases, such as ligament tears or nerve damage, it can affect you for a lifetime. They can also cause substantial pain and impairment of your quality of life.
Soft tissue injury cases are complicated because it is often difficult to conclusively prove the extent of the injury and because many insurance companies often try to downplay this type of damage.
You can’t trust just any lawyer with these types of complex cases. You should turn to Drafahl Law Firm because:
