Accidents can result in injuries ranging from minor scrapes and bruises to severe, life-altering conditions. One of the most debilitating outcomes of an accident can be chronic pain, a persistent condition that continues long after the accident. At Safi Law Group, we understand the complexities of chronic pain and how it can profoundly impact your life.
Chronic pain is defined as any pain that lasts for more than three to six months. Unlike acute pain, a normal response to an injury that tends to resolve as the injury heals, chronic pain persists beyond the expected healing time.
Chronic pain can stem from various injuries sustained in an accident, including spinal cord injuries, fractures, whiplash, or traumatic brain injuries. It can also be a result of psychological trauma. Chronic pain is unique to each individual and can range from mild discomfort to severe, constant pain.
Living with chronic pain can have significant impacts on your daily life. It can limit your mobility and ability to perform routine tasks, potentially leading to loss of employment or reduced earning capacity. It can also cause emotional distress, with sufferers experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.
While seeking immediate medical attention after an accident is essential, the onset of chronic pain can often be delayed. Therefore, it’s crucial to monitor your health closely in the weeks and months following an accident and to seek medical advice if pain persists.
In the legal realm, chronic pain can be challenging due to its subjective nature and the absence of visible signs or clear diagnostic tests. However, a skilled lawyer with experience in personal injury law can help you effectively navigate these challenges.
Lawyers can use various methods to prove chronic pain, such as medical records, expert testimonies, and evidence of your changed lifestyle or reduced capacity to work. They can help you seek compensation for immediate medical expenses and future treatments, therapies, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
