Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a crippling chronic pain syndrome. It can result in a complete inability to engage in one’s chosen career. The medical bills, including those for spinal cord stimulators, physical therapy, ketamine injections, and other types of treatment, can be extraordinarily high. Many suffering from CRPS face a lifetime of such medical expenses and a dependency upon Social Security and Medicare. Unfortunately, when the negligence of a third party caused your CRPS/RSD, their insurance company and attorneys will frequently deny that you have complex regional pain syndrome despite the diagnosis of your doctors. Our attorneys are highly experienced in helping those injured to receive the compensation they deserve.

Understanding which kind of CRPS you might be dealing with can help tailor the management strategies effectively.
CRPS symptoms can vary widely and change over time. They often include:
The exact cause of CRPS is not totally understood. However, many cases of CRPS result from forceful trauma to an arm or a leg. For example, the force of a motor vehicle accident, crush injury, or fracture.
Complex regional pain syndrome can emerge after trauma, leading to persistent and severe pain along with challenging symptoms. If you or a loved one is facing CRPS due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to know your legal rights and explore avenues for seeking compensation. With the support of a skilled personal injury lawyer, you can confidently navigate this journey, ensuring your rights are protected.
