Contact usWill a solicitor understand my chronic pain?
One of the most difficult things for people with chronic pain to deal with is that there may be no outward signs of the distressing pain that they are in, and even the best GPs can struggle to understand something they can't see. Even so, our specialist legal team has encountered enough people suffering with chronic pain to know that an injury doesn't have to be visible to be real. Some of the accidents that have been linked to chronic pain include:
If you suffer from chronic pain that resulted from someone else's actions or negligence, you can contact us, secure in the knowledge that we understand what you're going through and will do our best to seek the compensation you need whenever possible.
What conditions cause chronic pain?
It's now well understood that while injuries caused in accidents can lead to chronic pain, there are a number of other medical conditions that may be responsible. These include:
- Chronic pain syndrome
- Complex regional pain syndrome
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
- Somatoform disorder
- Fibromyalgia
You may have been told that the pain you're feeling is 'all in the mind' - perhaps even by a respected doctor or specialist - but medical science now fully accepts that chronic pain has many causes. As specialist lawyers, we believe that where your chronic pain has been caused by someone else's actions or negligence, it's often appropriate to seek financial compensation to help you with any rehabilitation that may help to ease the pain, and to live your life to the fullest again.
How much can I claim for my chronic pain?
The claim value depends on a wide variety of factors such as how severe the pain is and the impact that has on your life. As a result of the pain you're suffering, you may have had other expenses such as other expenses such as loss of earnings, medication or treatment, that you should also be compensated for.
If you're suffering from chronic pain as a result of an incident which has occurred, contact our experts for specialist advice.
