Chronic Pain FAQs

What is considered chronic pain in a legal claim?

Chronic pain refers to pain that persists for an extended period, typically longer than 12 weeks, and can continue even after the injury has healed. It can be physical, such as back pain or nerve damage, or related to conditions like fibromyalgia.

How do I prove chronic pain in a legal case?

Proving chronic pain can be challenging, as it may not show up on traditional medical tests. Medical records, testimony from doctors, testimony from other medical professionals, and expert opinions on the impact of your pain on your daily life will be critical in building your case.

What if my chronic pain makes it difficult to work?

If your chronic pain affects your ability to work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages and loss of future earning capacity. Medical experts can assess your limitations and help establish the connection between your pain and your inability to work.

What if my insurance company doesn’t believe my chronic pain is real?

Unfortunately, insurance companies may sometimes question the validity of chronic pain claims. A skilled injury lawyer can help you gather the necessary evidence and advocate on your behalf to ensure that your pain is taken seriously and properly compensated.
