Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), also sometimes called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) or Causalgia, is a chronic pain condition affecting the nervous system. People with CRPS often experience severe and long lasting pain, swelling, changes in skin color, changes in temperature, and changes in hair and/or nail growth to the injured part of their body.
People who suffer an injury with CRPS feel pain that is more extreme and disproportionate to the injury suffered. CRPS can be a serious and chronic (long lasting and reoccurring) condition. People who suffer an injury with CRPS as a result of the negligence of others, are entitled to recover money for all of their pain and suffering.
Insurance companies and their attorneys are often skeptical of these cases because they suspect the injured person is exaggerating his or her injuries. This is because people with CRPS feel more pain than other people. The attorneys as Maynard O’Connor have experience handling CRPS cases, and understand the medical science of this condition. We know how to prove, through objective evidence, when an injured person is suffering from CRPS.
If you have suffered an injury with CRPS, it is important that you seek immediate and appropriate medical attention. If that injury was caused by the negligence of someone else, it’s important that you contact the attorneys at Maynard O’Connor so that we can help you get all of the money you are entitled to.
