About This Condition

Understanding Soft Tissue Injury Treatment

Soft tissue injuries — damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons — are the most common type of injury sustained in car accidents, yet they are often undervalued because they don't appear on standard X-rays. Proper documentation of soft tissue injuries through detailed clinical examination, functional assessment, and sometimes advanced imaging is essential for establishing the full extent of injuries in a personal injury claim.

Legal Context

New Jersey Law & Your Soft Tissue Claim

New Jersey is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own auto insurance policy's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage pays for your medical treatment regardless of who caused the accident. The minimum PIP coverage in New Jersey is $15,000, which covers chiropractic treatment, lost wages, and other accident-related expenses. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New Jersey is 2 years. After this deadline, you lose the right to file a lawsuit for your injuries. New Jersey uses a modified comparative fault system. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is available in New Jersey and can help cover chiropractic treatment costs regardless of fault determination.
