Chronic Pain
After a work accident, many people experience persistent pain, which cannot be treated through surgery or other means other than pain management. This syndrome goes by several names, including fibromyalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), also called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). While the origin of the pain can be pinpointed to a specific accident, obtaining workers’ compensation benefits presents many challenges.
Workers’ compensation insurance companies often deny such claims, because outward symptoms are not in evidence, or if evidence does exist, its origins are ambiguous. If you continue to suffer from pain or impaired mobility after a workplace accident, you should speak with an experienced workers’ compensation attorney.
In one case, Hilley & Frieder, P.C., obtained $1,273,470 in workers’ compensation benefits for a client who suffered an injury to the hand resulting in pain syndrome with complications.
