What is CRPS?

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a condition that causes affected parted to suffer chronic pain – which can be disabling and debilitation. There are two types of CRPS: Type I and Type II. CRPS Type I occurs after soft tissue injuries (such as fractures, burns, sprains, and strains) and minor nerve injuries. CRPS Type II, on the other hand, occurs after major nerve injuries; it is referred to as Causalgia.

Before 1994, CRPS was known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Because the condition’s name-change is fairly recent, both RSD and CRPS are often use interchangeably to refer to the condition.

As mentioned above, CRPS causes chronic pain. More specifically, it is a chronic pain that can be present intermittently or constantly; it affects the skin, joints, muscles, and bones. CRPS is common in the limbs; however, it can appear anywhere on the body. Typically, it begins in one area and spreads to other areas – ultimately increasing the pain suffered.

CRPS after Electrocution

Is it possible to develop CRPS after an electrical injury? As mentioned above, CRPS can develop after nerve injuries; therefore, an electrocution that results in nerve damage could definitely result in CRPS. Many might argue that electrocution is rare; however, there are many things that could contribute to electrical injuries at nearly any time. Power lines, electric machinery, electric weapons, electrical outlets, as well as household appliances can all cause electrocution. Even something as simple as connecting a device’s charger – something that most of us do every day – can cause electric shock. Depending on the severity of the shock, victims could suffer nerve injuries, which can contribute to the development of CRPS.

Can You Sue for CRPS?

Do you have the right to sue for CRPS? If you CRPS was caused by a personal injury accident, you will likely have grounds to pursue a claim. Your right to sue is based on negligence. That is, a party owed you a duty of care that was ultimately breached – resulting in your accident and the harm that you suffered. If the accident and the harm that you suffered was a direct result of negligence, and the harm that you suffered led to your CRPS diagnosis, you will likely have grounds to sue for CRPS. To learn more about your right to sue for CRPS after an electrocution incident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers are ready to fight for your right to sue.

Could You Recover Compensation?

If you file an electric shock CRPS claim, could you be eligible to recover any sort of monetary compensation? Depending on the details of the claim, the harm you have suffered, and the harm that you will likely continue suffering, you could be eligible to recover compensation. Some of the different categories of compensation that you might be eligible to recover could include the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages

As mentioned above, the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will depend strictly on the details surrounding your claim. Therefore, a legal evaluation is necessary to get a thorough understanding of the type and amount of compensation that could be available for recovery.

Preparing to Sue for CRPS

Unfortunately, CRPS is one of the most difficult injuries for which to take legal action; however, this should not discourage you. Instead, you should do the following:

• Seek medical attention. After your electrocution accident, you might have already sought medical care. However, CRPS can develop long after your injury – typically up to 6 months after an injury (although some experts say it can develop even over 6 months). If you are in pain even after your injuries have healed, you could have developed CRPS. You must seek additional medical attention. Because chronic pain is often disregarded (since pain is subjective), you might need to go to multiple doctors prior to being effectively diagnosed. After your diagnosis, you should follow all medical recommendations.
• Gather all relevant evidence. This includes evidence surrounding your electrocution incident that caused your injuries and contributed to the development of your CRPS. You must also gather all medical documents surrounding your CRPS diagnosis.
• Seek legal expertise. You will need to hire an attorney to help you with pursuing your claim. You should hire an attorney who has previously handled CRPS cases successfully – as these cases can be difficult to handle for inexperienced lawyers. You should provide you attorney with an honest and thorough account of your situation, from the moment of your initial injury to your diagnosis (and how your diagnosis has affected your life).

Of course, there is much more to the legal process. However, you shouldn’t have to worry about that. After you hire an experienced lawyer, your lawyer will guide you every step of the way – keeping you aware of everything that is going on but allowing you to focus on getting better.
