Chronic pain: primary versus secondary
Chronic pain is a type of pain that lasts longer than the length of time considered normal for healing to occur. The pain may be consistent, or it may come and go. Its intensity can vary from mild to extreme. Some suffer chronic pain with no known cause; this type is referred to as primary chronic pain.
If you were hurt in an accident, you may have sought immediate treatment and had sufficient funds under your insurance policy’s Section B coverage to pay for those initial injury-related expenses. Months later, you may be struggling with lingering pain that interferes with your ability to carry out your normal activities.
Proving the cause of your chronic pain
The challenge of getting fair compensation for chronic pain after an accident injury is providing sufficient proof. You must demonstrate credibly that the accident is the cause of your chronic pain.
Because chronic pain is often not visible, an experienced accident injury lawyer can advise on what you can do to support the medical records and accident reports. Your lawyer can also guide you on pitfalls to avoid in your daily routine that might undermine your case.
