    What is CRPS, and How Does It Affect You?

    Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) or causalgia, is a chronic pain condition often triggered by an injury, surgery, or trauma. While its exact cause remains unclear, CRPS highly impacts the nervous system, leading to unbearable pain and other serious symptoms.

    CRPS can develop in two forms:

    • CRPS-I (formerly RSD): Occurs without confirmed nerve damage.
    • CRPS-II (causalgia): Develops with documented nerve injury.

    Both types share similar symptoms, including intense burning pain that typically starts in one limb but may spread to others. This pain can worsen over time, making daily tasks or even simple movements feel impossible. Other symptoms include swelling, changes in skin color, sensitivity to touch or temperature, and muscle weakness or spasms.

    CRPS affects every part of your life—your physical health, your ability to work, and even your connection with loved ones. If someone else’s negligence caused your condition, you have the right to seek compensation.

    Why Do You Need a CRPS Lawyer?

    Insurance companies often dismiss or downplay the severity of CRPS claims. They may argue that your symptoms are exaggerated or unrelated to the initial injury. For victims already struggling with debilitating pain, this denial feels like an added injustice.

    Handling a CRPS claim without legal representation can be overwhelming, leading many victims to accept settlements that fall far short of what they need to cover medical expenses, lost income, and ongoing care. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, using recorded conversations and other tactics to weaken your case—sometimes twisting your words to suggest you were partially at fault.

    At Stark & Stark, we step in to shield you from these tactics and handle all negotiations on your behalf. From the moment you contact us, we’ll take the burden of dealing with insurance companies off your shoulders. Our goal is to secure the compensation you deserve so you can focus on your health and recovery without fear of financial hardship.

    Why Choose Stark & Stark, P.C. for Your CRPS Case?

    Dealing with a legal claim while living with CRPS is no small feat. You need a team you can trust—one with the experience, compassion, and dedication required to stand up for your rights. Here’s how Stark & Stark sets itself apart:

    • No Financial Risk: You don’t need to worry about legal fees upfront. We operate on a contingency basis—if we don’t recover compensation for you, you don’t pay attorney’s fees. This ensures you can pursue your case without fear of additional financial strain.
    • Tireless Advocacy: Whether through negotiation or litigation, we will fight relentlessly to secure a fair outcome. If going to trial is necessary, we’re fully prepared to do so.
    • Access to Resources: We have an extensive network of medical specialists, rehabilitation experts, and legal professionals. These connections strengthen your case and ensure we can provide the best support possible.

    CRPS often develops following an injury or accident involving trauma to a limb. Some of the cases we handle that may result in CRPS include:

    Even seemingly minor injuries can trigger CRPS symptoms. If someone else’s negligence caused your pain, we’ll investigate every detail of your case to hold the responsible party accountable.

    Compensation for CRPS Victims

    Helping you secure compensation for your injury isn’t about the money—it’s about giving you the tools and resources to regain stability and focus on your recovery. At Stark & Stark, we’ll fight for damages covering:

    • Medical Expenses: CRPS often requires a lifetime of treatment, including physical therapy, medications, surgeries, and advanced pain management interventions. We’ll pursue the resources you need to access the best care available.
    • Lost Wages and Future Earning Capacity: CRPS can make it impossible to work, affecting your income and financial security. We’ll advocate for compensation to address both past and future losses.
    • Pain and Suffering: Chronic pain impacts more than just your physical body; it takes an emotional toll as well. We’ll seek compensation for the anguish and diminished quality of life you’ve experienced.

    Loss of Enjoyment of Life: If CRPS has robbed you of the ability to participate in activities or hobbies you once enjoyed, we’ll fight to make those losses a recognized part of your claim.

    Understanding the Legal Process

    Pursuing a CRPS claim may seem overwhelming, but that’s where we come in. Our team will guide you through every step, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and, if needed, representing you in court.

    Because proving a CRPS case can be complex, we’ll work with your doctors and enlist expert witnesses to demonstrate the extent of your injury. Our job is to build a compelling and thorough case, ensuring negligent parties are held accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
