Trip & Fall – Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Injury Settlement

Our client was visiting her daughter and one-year-old granddaughter in Laguna, California, when she tripped on a step inside the home and fell, breaking her toe. What followed was a medical crisis far beyond what anyone anticipated: she developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) – a rare, debilitating, and often permanent chronic pain condition that can be triggered by even a seemingly minor injury.

CRPS is recognized by the medical community as one of the most painful conditions known to medicine, causing intense burning pain, extreme sensitivity to touch, skin changes, and severe limitations on mobility and daily functioning. The diagnosis of CRPS dramatically changed our client’s life and prognosis, transforming what appeared to be a minor toe fracture into a chronic, life-altering condition with no simple cure.

Upon the CRPS diagnosis, the property’s insurance policy was tendered in full, and a $1,000,000 settlement was reached. This outcome reflects the serious and permanent nature of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and the importance of working with attorneys who understand how catastrophic the long-term consequences of even a small injury can be. If you developed CRPS or another serious complication following a trip and fall accident in California, Feher Law can help you pursue the full compensation you deserve.
