Visible Injuries are Not Required for a Personal Injury Claim
June 2025
Visible injuries are not required to file a personal injury claim. In fact, many personal injury claims involve injuries that are not visible to the eye. Some of the common types of injuries that are not visible include whiplash, concussions, soft tissue injury, internal bleeding and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In cases where injuries are not visible, insurance companies will often take a stronger defense. In these cases, it is very important to have an attorney on your side. With the assistance of an attorney, your injury can be documented and presented to the insurance company in a persuasive manner. In certain cases, where the insurance company is not being fair you will want a person with vast trial experience on your side.
