Do You Have a Claim?

Understanding whether you have a valid claim for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) involves examining several key legal concepts. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Duty of Care

Duty of care refers to the responsibility of individuals or organizations to act in a way that prevents harm to others.

For CRPS claims, this means that parties such as employers, manufacturers, or medical professionals have a legal obligation to maintain safety standards, provide proper medical care, or ensure that products are safe and well-maintained.

If these responsibilities are not met, it could lead to the development or exacerbation of CRPS.

Breach of Duty

A breach of duty occurs when an individual or organization fails to uphold the required standard of care. In CRPS cases, this might involve:

Workplace Safety: An employer failing to provide a safe working environment, leading to accidents that cause CRPS.
Medical Negligence: A healthcare provider not following proper medical procedures or misdiagnosing a condition, resulting in CRPS.
Product Defects: A manufacturer producing faulty equipment that contributes to the injury.

Proving a breach involves showing that the responsible party did not act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances.

Causation

Causation connects the breach of duty to the CRPS injury. To establish causation, you must demonstrate that the breach directly resulted in your CRPS. This means showing that the negligent action or omission was a substantial factor in causing your condition.

For instance, if a faulty piece of machinery led to an injury that developed into CRPS, you need to prove how the machine’s defect and the resulting injury contributed to the onset of CRPS.

Damages From the Injuries

Damages represent the impact of CRPS on your life and finances. They include:

Medical Expenses: Costs for initial and ongoing treatment, including medications, physical therapy, and specialist consultations.
Lost Wages: Income lost due to inability to work or reduced earning capacity as a result of CRPS.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by CRPS.
Additional Costs: Expenses for necessary modifications to your home or vehicle, special equipment, or other adjustments needed because of CRPS.

Assessing these damages helps determine the compensation you may be entitled to and supports your claim for recovery.

Types of Damages You Could Claim

These damages fall into three main categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive. Each type addresses different aspects of your losses and suffering, helping to ensure that you receive fair and comprehensive compensation for the impact the accident has had on your life.

1. Economic Damages

Economic damages encompass all the quantifiable financial losses that stem directly from your Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). These include:

Medical Expenses: Compensation for both past and anticipated medical costs. This includes hospital bills, surgical expenses, prescription medications, physical therapy, and ongoing treatments required to manage your CRPS. If you need specialized care or assistive devices like prosthetics, these costs are also covered under economic damages.
Lost Wages: Reimbursement for income lost due to your inability to work while recovering from the injury. This can include both the wages you’ve already missed and any future earning potential that may be affected if CRPS impacts your ability to perform your job or pursue your career.
Other Tangible Financial Losses: This can cover a range of additional expenses directly linked to your CRPS, such as modifications to your home for accessibility, transportation costs for medical appointments, and any other out-of-pocket expenses incurred due to your condition.

2. Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages address the more subjective and intangible impacts of CRPS on your quality of life:

Physical Pain: Compensation for the chronic pain and discomfort caused by CRPS. This includes both the severity and duration of your pain, acknowledging the constant and debilitating nature of the condition.
Emotional Distress: Covers the psychological toll of living with CRPS, such as anxiety, depression, and emotional suffering. This reflects the impact the condition has on your mental well-being and overall emotional health.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the decreased ability to engage in activities you once enjoyed or participated in before your CRPS. This includes hobbies, recreational activities, and other aspects of life that have been significantly diminished.
Loss of Consortium: Addresses the impact of CRPS on your relationships with family and loved ones. It compensates for the loss of companionship, affection, and support that may have been affected by your condition.

3. Punitive Damages

Punitive damages are awarded in cases where the actions of the responsible party are found to be particularly egregious or malicious. These damages serve several purposes:

Punishment: They are intended to punish the wrongdoer for their extreme negligence or reckless behavior that led to your CRPS. This punishment reflects the severity of their actions and the disregard for your safety and well-being.
Deterrence: By imposing punitive damages, the legal system aims to deter similar conduct by others in the future. This helps promote safer practices and encourages responsible behavior across industries.
Public Policy: Punitive damages also serve a broader societal function by reinforcing the principle that egregious misconduct will be met with severe consequences, thus upholding the standards of accountability and justice.

Aria Fadakar

★★★★★

Tom Feher and his team are excellent litigators and trial attorneys. I’ve had the privilege of working with them side by side on multiple cases. As a result of that, I have seen the inner workings of how they plan, prepare, and execute. Above being attorneys, they know how to blend law and business while also staying personable and authentic to their clients and audience. Being personable is what gets your clients to trust you and a jury to like you. Since Tom and his team know how to be personable while practicing the rigid elements of law, they are able to get strong verdicts and settlements on behalf of their clients. Also, you can’t fake authenticity. A jury can read an inauthentic person from a mile away. That’s why Tom and his team can deliver. Strong legal minds, personable, and authentic.

How to Navigate a CRPS Lawsuit

Handling a CRPS lawsuit requires a strategic approach, a thorough understanding of the legal landscape, and effective legal support. Given the complexity of CRPS and its profound impact on daily life, pursuing a lawsuit can be both challenging and demanding.

Identifying Defendants: Determining who may be held liable is crucial. Potential defendants in a CRPS case could include medical professionals, employers, manufacturers of faulty products, or any other parties whose negligence or misconduct contributed to the condition.

Types of Claims: Depending on the specifics of the case, you may pursue various types of claims, such as:

Medical Malpractice: If the CRPS resulted from substandard medical care or errors.
Personal Injury: For injuries sustained due to accidents or negligence.
Product Liability: If defective products contributed to the onset of CRPS.
Workers’ Compensation: If the condition developed due to workplace-related activities or accidents.

Legal Process: The journey through a CRPS lawsuit involves several stages, including:

Investigation: Gathering evidence and evaluating the details of your case.
Discovery: Exchanging information and evidence with the opposing party.
Negotiation: Discussing potential settlements to resolve the case before trial.
Trial: If necessary, presenting your case in court for a judge or jury to decide.

Having experienced legal representation is essential to effectively navigate these stages and address the complexities of a CRPS lawsuit.

We are committed to supporting clients through each phase of their CRPS lawsuit, offering dedicated service and robust advocacy to secure the best possible outcome.

How Our Accident Law Firm Can Help

We offer dedicated legal support explicitly tailored to complex regional pain syndrome. Our team is committed to guiding you through every facet of your case to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.

Personal Injury Claims: We help you get compensation for the damages caused by CRPS from accidents or injuries. This includes money for your pain, medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
Medical Malpractice Cases: If CRPS resulted from medical mistakes, we will pursue claims against the healthcare providers responsible. This covers cases of misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose CRPS correctly and timely.
Insurance Disputes: If your insurance claim for CRPS is denied or undervalued, we fight to get you the fair compensation you deserve. We handle negotiations, disputes, and appeals to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Comprehensive Legal Guidance: CRPS cases can be complicated. We offer expert advice and support, evaluate the value of your claim, and manage all legal aspects of your case with care and empathy.

Our focus is on delivering meticulous and client-centered legal assistance, ensuring your rights are protected and your case is managed with the highest level of care.

First Steps After a CRPS Diagnosis

Getting a CRPS diagnosis can be a lot to handle, particularly if you think it’s related to someone else’s negligence. Here’s a clear guide on the essential steps to take next:

Continued Medical Care: Continue treatment with qualified healthcare professionals to manage CRPS symptoms effectively.
Document Medical Records: Keep accurate records of all medical appointments, treatments, and recommendations.
Contact a Specialized Lawyer: Consult with an attorney from our firm to evaluate your legal options.
Preserve Evidence: Collect and store relevant evidence, such as photos, medical reports, and witness statements.
Maintain a Pain Journal: Record your pain levels and symptoms regularly to track the severity of your condition.
Follow Treatment Plans: Stick to prescribed treatments and therapies to manage your symptoms and support your case.

Deadline for Filing Your Lawsuit

Timing is so important when it comes to filing a lawsuit for complex regional pain syndrome.

In California, you generally have two years from the date of the injury or diagnosis to file a personal injury lawsuit — this deadline is known as the “statute of limitations.”

However, if your CRPS stems from medical malpractice, the deadline may be different, often shorter, depending on when the negligence was discovered.

It’s important to consult with a lawyer promptly to ensure you meet all legal deadlines and protect your right to compensation.

Gathering Evidence With an Injury Lawyer From Feher Law Group

Collecting the right evidence will really help you build a strong CRPS lawsuit. Here’s what you need:

Medical Records: Detailed records of your diagnosis, treatments, and progress are essential to show the severity and impact of your condition.
Expert Testimony: Input from CRPS specialists can validate the connection between your injury and CRPS, as well as inform on prognosis and treatment.
Daily Life Documentation: A journal detailing how CRPS affects your daily life, including pain, activity limitations, and emotional distress, provides evidence of your suffering.
Establishing Liability: Depending on your case, this could involve showing negligence in workplace incidents or proving medical malpractice in cases where CRPS arose from improper care.
Proving Pain and Suffering: Demonstrating pain and suffering can be complex. Effective strategies include gathering witness statements, expert opinions, and documenting psychological impacts to convey the extent of your suffering.

What Can I Expect to Pay When I Want to File a Lawsuit?

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

No Upfront Costs: You do not need to pay any fees before we begin working on your case. This arrangement ensures that you can pursue legal action without financial pressure.
Payment Upon Success: Our fees are contingent upon winning your case. We only get paid if we secure compensation for you. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
Percentage of Recovery: Our fees are typically a percentage of the settlement or court award. This means our interests are aligned with yours—our goal is to achieve the highest possible compensation for you.
Additional Expenses: While there are no upfront legal fees, there may be other costs associated with your case, such as court fees, expert witness fees, or costs for obtaining records. We will discuss these potential expenses with you and handle them transparently.

This approach allows you to focus on your case while we work diligently to achieve a favorable outcome for you.

What is CRPS?

Complex regional pain syndrome, formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), is a debilitating condition marked by intense and chronic pain, usually affecting one limb. This syndrome often follows an injury or trauma, though the precise cause remains unclear.

CRPS is categorized into two types:

Type 1: Occurs without confirmed nerve damage.
Type 2: Develops following a documented nerve injury.

Diagnosing CRPS can be complex, involving a thorough medical evaluation that includes a physical exam and various tests to exclude other conditions with similar symptoms.

Effective treatment typically requires a comprehensive approach, including pain management, physical therapy, medication, and sometimes more advanced interventions such as nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation.

Early and proactive management is important for controlling symptoms and minimizing long-term disability.

Common Causes of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

This syndrome can profoundly impact mobility and daily activities, affecting all aspects of an individual’s life.

Based on our extensive experience, here are some of the most frequent causes:

Injury Trauma: CRPS often arises following various types of injuries, including fractures, sprains, strains, or even minor cuts. Surprisingly, even seemingly insignificant injuries can trigger this condition, underscoring the necessity for immediate and thorough medical evaluation and care after any trauma. Common scenarios include workplace accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, or motor vehicle collisions.
Surgical Procedures: The trauma from surgical interventions, coupled with the body’s inflammatory response to the procedure, can be a precursor to CRPS. The stress placed on the body during surgery may disrupt normal healing processes and contribute to the syndrome’s development.
Traumatic Events: Forceful impacts or sudden injuries to the body can disrupt nerve function and blood flow, potentially setting off the onset of CRPS. Such events can create a cascade of physiological responses that trigger the syndrome.
Nerve Damage: Dysfunction in nerve signaling can lead to the abnormal pain sensations and sensory changes characteristic of CRPS. Damage to peripheral nerves can mislead the brain into perceiving pain that is disproportionate to the initial injury.
Surgery-Related Complications: Complications arising from surgery, including trauma from the procedure itself, issues related to anesthesia, or postoperative infections, can increase the risk of developing CRPS. This highlights the importance of comprehensive and vigilant postoperative care.
Neurological Disorders: Conditions such as strokes, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries can disrupt normal pain processing pathways in the central or peripheral nervous system, heightening susceptibility to chronic pain syndromes like CRPS. These neurological disruptions can alter the way pain is perceived and managed by the body.

Symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

These symptoms often evolve over time and can significantly affect daily life. Here are some of the most common and notable symptoms:

Intense Pain: Individuals with CRPS frequently experience severe, persistent pain that may feel like burning, throbbing, or aching. This pain can be disproportionate to the initial injury and may persist long after the initial trauma has healed.
Heightened Sensitivity: Patients often exhibit extreme sensitivity to touch, temperature changes, or even minor stimuli. This heightened sensitivity, known as allodynia, means that sensations that normally wouldn’t cause discomfort can trigger significant pain.
Swelling: The affected limb or area may become swollen due to inflammation. This swelling can vary in severity and may worsen with movement or over time.
Skin Changes: CRPS can cause noticeable alterations in the skin’s appearance, such as changes in color (ranging from pale to red or blue), texture (which may become smooth or shiny), and temperature (skin may feel unusually warm or cold to the touch).
Sweating and Hair Growth: Abnormal sweating patterns in the affected area are common. Additionally, changes in hair growth, such as excessive hair growth or hair loss, may occur in the region affected by CRPS.
Spread of Symptoms: Over time, symptoms may extend beyond the initial site of injury. This progression can lead to pain and other symptoms spreading to adjacent areas or even to the opposite limb.
Functional Impairment: CRPS can severely impact an individual’s ability to perform everyday tasks. This includes limitations in mobility, reduced range of motion, and challenges with fine motor skills, which can hinder work and personal activities.
