Chronic pain syndrome (CPS) can be a life-changing condition, not only for those living with it, but for friends and family too. Typically lasting for three or more months after an injury, it’s a debilitating experience that can affect you both mentally and physically.
Contact our team of chronic pain solicitors to see how we can help you or your loved one.
Our lawyers understand that the impact of chronic pain is a very individual experience and that every case needs to be treated differently. We’ve handled many kinds of chronic pain claims, from road traffic accidents to workplace injuries, so we know how your life can be affected by the condition.
Most of the chronic pain claims we handle are on a no win no fee basis. This means there's nothing for you to pay upfront, and you won’t have to pay any legal fees if your claim isn’t successful.
What are the different types of chronic pain?
Our experience in chronic pain covers many kinds and causes of chronic pain, so we’ll know how to fight for your compensation claim. There are lots of different kinds of chronic pain, but the most common are:
- Somatic pain – this is caused by an injury to the skin, muscle, or soft tissue, and includes headaches.
- Visceral pain – visceral pain comes from internal organs and can sometimes spread to other areas of the body. The nature of the pain receptors on internal organs means that visceral pain is often difficult to locate.
- Neuropathic pain – nerve damage causes neuropathic pain, which is when nerve fibres send the wrong pain signals to other parts of the body.
- Fibromyalgia – this is a chronic pain condition that can be inflamed by injury.
