RSD/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Chronic, Acute Pain From Trauma | California Medical Malpractice Law Firm

Complex regional pain syndrome is an unusual disease in that a person's pain in a certain area of his or her body just does not stop, no matter what you do. It is usually caused by trauma to nerves that are injured. There is no known cure for this syndrome, which is also called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Living with this level of pain can not only make it hard to work, it can cause significant stress and depression in a person's life and lead to enormous medical bills over a lifetime.

Compensation for Dealing With Chronic Severe Pain

Most people do not even know that such a condition exists — they only know that the pain won't go away. If you are dealing with RSD or other symptoms due to nerve injury caused by a car accident or a doctor's mistake or a surgery, you may have reason to file for compensation under the law. Damages may include compensation for medical expenses, pain management therapy, physical therapy and counseling, wage loss and other damages, including pain and suffering.
