Central Pain Syndrome Accident Lawyers – Your Right to Sue

Central pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition in which the affected parties central nervous system is overactive due to damage – resulting in feeling pain even when there is no direct cause for the pain. The average person feels pain in response to something, whether it’s a pinch, a sprain, a fracture, or a more severe injury. With central pain syndrome, the affected party feels pain even where there is nothing causing the pain.

Central pain syndrome generally affects a large portion of the body, although it can be restricted to only certain areas (like the hands or the feet) in some cases. Those with this condition can experience a constant pain ranging from moderate to severe that is worsened by touch, movement, temperature, and even emotions. Affected parties suffer different pain sensations, including the following:

• Burning
• Pins and needles
• Pressing, lacerating, or aching pain
• Sharp pain in brief but intolerable bursts

Typically, affected parties also feel numbness (tingling) in the affected areas.

Although central pain syndrome normally starts soon after the initial injury, development of the syndrome can sometimes be delayed by months or even years in some cases.

Unfortunately, central pain syndrome is a permanent medical condition. For some, pain management reduces the level of pain they experience, but most people never experience full pain relief. Affected parties are often prescribed antidepressants and anticonvulsants for the pain. In addition, stress management has also been found to provide pain reduction.

Just like you would have the right to file a lawsuit for fractures or a head injury caused by an incident, you also would have the right to sue for central pain syndrome resulting from an incident. Many people mistakenly consider central pain syndrome and similar conditions as secondary because they occur as a result of the injuries sustain in the accident. Because of this, they believe that they do not have the right to sue. However, it is important to understand that if the accident and the initial injury hadn’t happened, then the syndrome wouldn’t have developed.

So, do you have the right to sue? Yes – you could have the right to sue. Depending on the specific type of incident that caused you harm, you could sue based on negligence, premise liability, etc. If you sue, you could be entitled to recover compensation for the harm that you suffered. For more information about your right to file a lawsuit for central pain syndrome after an accident, do not hesitate to contact the experts here at our law firm immediately.

Our firm has been approached multiple times with a number of different questions. Some of the most common questions surround possible case values and the typical settlement times. These questions are listed and addressed below.

What is the average value of a central pain syndrome lawsuit? The value of these types of claims can vary significantly from case to case. In general, however, these types of cases tend to be high value, often ranging from $500,000 to $1 million at a minimum. This is due to many factors. Primarily, the injuries – both brain injuries and spinal cord injuries – have historically been associated with higher values, as these injuries are among the most severe that could be suffered. Secondly, central pain syndrome is a permanent medical condition, meaning that affected parties will require long term medical care and could significantly lose their earning potential. Finally, the condition is known to lead to long-term mental and emotional suffering. All of these factors contribute to the generally high case values for this medical condition.

How long is the settlement process for central pain syndrome lawsuits? With any type of case, the time that it takes to reach a settlement is likely to vary significantly. This is because every case is different, and different factors surrounding the case can affect the time that it takes to reach a settlement. Here at our law firm, we are committed to settling these types of cases in as little as 6 to 8 months. As mentioned, different factors can affect the time that it takes to reach a settlement. You can trust that our lawyers will always be upfront with you. If we anticipate that your claim will take longer to settle, we will be the first to let you know. Even with some complications, most claims can be settled in under 2 years. However, some cases can sometimes take longer than 2 years to settle.

How long do I have to file my central pain syndrome lawsuit after an accident? This is one of the most important questions that you could ask. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims on time, then they risk losing their right to sue.

What statute of limitations applies to your claim? In the state of California, injury claims are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants have two years to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the two years allowed, then they can lose their right to sue entirely.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you could have to file your lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact the experts here at our law firm immediately.

Consider some of the following recommendations:

• Gather all photographs of your injuries and of the scene of the accident
• Gather any video footage that captured your incident
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you have already treated your original injuries, seek treatment if you begin experiencing symptoms.
• Gather all relevant medical records
• Gather all records of lost income
• Seek legal assistance as soon as possible
