Soft Tissue Injury Settlement Guide: How Colorado Claims Are Evaluated

Soft tissue cases are commonly disputed. Clear treatment timelines and functional-impact records are essential.

Key Points

  • Tie every treatment step to documented symptoms and provider plans.
  • Track missed work and activity limits in real time.
  • Request written valuation breakdowns before accepting offers.

Why Soft Tissue Cases Get Undervalued

Insurers may rely on low property damage or delayed symptoms to minimize value.

Detailed clinical notes can counter lowball assumptions.

Settlement Evidence Framework

Provide a concise package with treatment chronology, symptom timeline, work impact, and out-of-pocket costs.

Structured evidence keeps negotiation focused on facts.
