Chronic Pain Syndrome Lawyers

Chronic pain syndromes

After an accident, obvious injuries such as burns, lacerations, and broken bones might have healed, but yet you are still in considerable pain. The pain you experience is so catastrophic in nature that it changes your entire life. A personal injury attorney at Mandell Trial Lawyers can help you seek compensation for the chronic pain you experience as a result of a past accident.

What Is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is extremely difficult to define because there isn’t an official medical definition for this term. Some medical professionals define chronic pain as intense or severe pain that is experienced for prolonged periods of time while other medical practitioners may define it as lingering pain that is not caused by any specific identifiable cause.

The lack of a set medical definition for chronic pain can make it difficult when seeking compensation. However, it isn’t impossible. With proper documentation, detailed medical records, and expert witness statements, chronic pain sufferers can present a strong case for why they deserve maximum compensation.

The personal injury attorneys at Mandell Trial Lawyers have assisted clients who have experienced various types of severe chronic pain. We can help clients who experience any of the following types of chronic pain:

• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck injuries
• Neurogenic pain
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Fibromyalgia
• Migraines
• Chronic pain syndrome
• Repetitive stress injuries

The caring and compassionate chronic pain lawyer at Mandell Trial Lawyers assists clients in getting the documentation needed to get favorable results. Once the proper documentation is obtained, our chronic pain lawyer advocates on behalf of our clients so they get maximum compensation.

What Type of Compensation Are Victims of Chronic Pain Entitled to Seek?

Victims who experience chronic pain after an accident may be able to seek compensation for the following things:

• Medical expenses — Doctor appointments and specialist appointments.
• Diagnostic testing — X-rays, digital imaging such as MRI and electromyography, and other forms of diagnostic testing that may be needed to help with the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain.
