Long Island Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Attorney
Skilled Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Lawyers Serving Long Island, NY
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD) can be a chronic and many times progressive condition usually requiring physical therapy and medicine. Symptoms are usually described as a severe burning or shocking feeling in limbs such as the hands, wrists, legs or feet. CRPS is usually brought on by an injury or a surgery. This residual pain may also cause atrophy of a limb. It may cause you such pain that you are left unable to work, unable to enjoy life, and facing significant medical bills. Common causes of CRPS include motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, construction accidents, medical malpractice and assaults. It can be difficult to prove that your Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is directly connected to an injury caused by the negligence or intentional conduct of another. However, an experienced Long Island Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Attorney will understand CRPS and know how to prove that it is related to a specific injury. Palermo Law is a Long Island Personal Injury Law Firm dedicated to representing individuals that have suffered serious injuries including CRPS as a result of another’s negligence or intentional conduct.
When To Consult With A CRPS Lawyer
If you have suffered from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in Suffolk County, Long Island from a car accident, it is a good idea to consult with a car accident attorney as soon as possible. Hiring an attorney early on in the process will help protect your legal rights, ensure your medical bills and lost wages are paid and give you an advantage building a strong personal injury case. An early investigation will also help preserve key evidence in your case.
Important deadlines to know for your Long Island Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Attorney case:
Medical bills and lost wages are paid through no-fault insurance. All no-fault insurance carriers require a no-fault application be filed within thirty days. Failing to do so may result in denial of your no-fault benefits and may make you personally responsible for the bills.
In car accident cases there is generally a three-year statute of limitations to initiate a lawsuit. However, that time period may be reduced to as little as 90 days if your car accident involves a municipal, state or federal entity. So, it’s best to check with a qualified car accident attorney as soon as possible.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
