Chronic Pain

When an accident – caused by someone else’s negligence – turns your life upside down, you often have to deal with physical pain, emotional turmoil, loss of income and unplanned costs. Accident insurance claims and investigations, medical tests, procedures and reports.

WHY PICK WATCHMAKER INJURY LAW FOR YOUR CHRONIC INJURY CLAIM?

When you require a dedicated advocate in your journey towards justice, WatchMaker Injury Law is here to support you. Our experienced injury lawyers bring a wealth of expertise in handling a wide variety of cases, including those involving chronic pain resulting from motor vehicle accidents and other sustained injuries.

What is Chronic Pain?

Unlike acute pain, which acts as a normal sensation alerting us to possible injury, chronic pain lingers on. It can last for several weeks, months, or even longer. However, chronic pain can also exist without any clear reason. Pain can be described in many ways, such as aching, burning, shooting, or electrical. It could be a general discomfort, stiffness, soreness, or tightness.

No Two Chronic Pain Injuries are the Same

Don’t Accept any Settlement without First Consulting with a Chronic Pain Lawyer

If you’re suffering from chronic pain due to someone else’s negligence, you might be entitled to compensation. However, it’s crucial not to accept any settlement offer from the at-fault party or the insurance company without consulting a chronic injury lawyer. These initial offers are often far lower than what you’re legally entitled to. A lawyer can help evaluate the offer, negotiate with the insurance company, and ensure you receive fair compensation.

The ability to function refers to an individual’s ability to perform daily activities and tasks. Chronic pain can often impact this ability, making it difficult for individuals to work, take care of their homes, or engage in activities they enjoy. A decrease in the ability to function can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life and can be a factor in determining compensation in a chronic pain case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chronic Pain FAQ

Chronic injuries are those that persist over time, typically lasting for weeks, months, or even longer. Unlike acute injuries, which heal relatively quickly, chronic injuries may stem from repetitive stress, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. These injuries often manifest as persistent pain, discomfort, and functional limitations.
