RSD or CRPS Cases Call for EXPERIENCED REPRESENTATION
These cases are complex. We may need to consult with a variety of medical professionals to show the severity of the injury. Contact Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. today. We will work hard to manage the process and get you everything you deserve. Tell them you mean business!
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), technically known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), is a severe condition that may be the result of a crush or a pressure injury to an extremity. The condition typically arises as a result of broken bones, bruises, sprains, falls, damaged nerves and soft tissue injuries.
Unfortunately, the condition may appear as a result of a minor trauma or minimal injury. You may not think it's a big deal, but you may start to notice chronic pain in a limb, such as a leg or an arm. The injury can occur at work or even in an auto accident or other accident involving a crush or pressure injury.
The condition, which is just beginning to be understood in the medical community, also can be a result of any number of workplace injuries. The following are examples of how the condition may appear:
- A store clerk injured after a large piece of equipment falls. The injury may result in nerve damage that leads to RSD or CRPS
- A truck driver or bus driver injured in an accident
- A roofer falls from a ladder
If you or a loved one sustained an RSD or CRPS injury, don't hesitate to talk to an experienced attorney about your options. You may be entitled to financial compensation and benefits. At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., our lawyers can put experience and resources to work to get you the results you deserve. We often can find financial assistance for our clients that may have been overlooked.
An RSD or CRPS Injury May Lead to Increasing Pain
Sometimes you may not notice an RSD and CRPS injury. If you are injured again, you may suddenly feel the pain from the initial injury. Patients who developed RSD and CRPS previously but were able to cope with the discomfort may later feel intense pain because of a relatively minor injury, such as a fall. RSD and CRPS victims may find they are unable to cope with increasing pain.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Symptom: Skin Sensitivity
CRPS symptoms may include changes in the color and temperature of the skin over an affected body part. Other symptoms include:
- Intense burning pain
- Skin sensitivity
- Sweating
- Swelling
Diagnosing the condition can be complicated, and insurance companies won't go out of their way to help determine responsibility. Turn to our firm for help. Contact Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. today.
