You Need an Attorney That Understands Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
According to the Mayo Clinic, “complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a form of chronic pain that usually affects an arm or a leg. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) typically develops after an injury, surgery, a stroke or a heart attack. The pain is out of proportion to the severity of the initial injury.”

What Does a St. Louis Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Attorney Do To Help You?
There are two types of CRPS:
- Type 1, called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), occurs after an illness or injury that did not cause direct damage to the nerves in the limb that is impacted. This is the type 90% of people who suffer from this syndrome have.
- Type 2 occurs after a distinct nerve injury, usually because of forceful trauma to the arm or leg.
The process of proving your claim is going to vary depending on what type you have as well as the cause of your harm. At Drafahl Law Firm, we help victims with both types of CRPS to put together a compelling case so they can be “made whole” or compensated for all losses. This often includes finding expert witnesses and helping you to track the pain you endured.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome can arise from various causes, often resulting from a car accident. A St. Louis car accident lawyer can help you pursue maximum compensation for your case should a collision with another vehicle leave you in pain.
