Chronic Pain After a Car Accident

What is Chronic Pain After Car Accident?

Chronic pain after car accident is persistent and extends beyond the normal recovery period. Lasting for over 3 to 6 months, despite medication or treatment, requires attention and understanding.

Untreated initial injuries can lead to long-lasting pain. Differentiating chronic pain from delayed pain is important. Adrenaline rush may mask immediate pain, but seeking medical attention is crucial to prevent untreated injuries from developing into lifelong chronic pain.

If you’re experiencing chronic pain after car accident, consult a pain management specialist for assessment and treatment options. Addressing your pain is essential for improving your quality of life and finding relief.

Don’t ignore chronic pain after car accident. Seek medical care to manage and alleviate your pain effectively.

What Is Chronic Pain Syndrome?

Doctors define chronic pain syndrome as any pain that occurs for longer than 3 – 6 months, despite medication or treatment. While the initial injury has already healed, chronic pain after car accident is felt long after the recovery period.

Can I Have Delayed Chronic Pain After Car Accident?

Depending on the type of injuries you sustain during the car accident, your accident can cause chronic pain. This is particularly the case if your initial injuries go untreated. The short answer is yes, you can have delayed chronic pain after car accident. However, delayed pain is not the same thing as chronic pain. Due to many factors, including a rush of adrenaline, you may not feel pain immediately after a car accident. This can even cause you to overlook severe injuries. However, it is still important to seek medical attention because untreated injuries can lead to chronic pain after car accident that may not go away later in life.

So I suffered a tragic motorcycle accident leaving me injured and quite unhappy…… also the bike was totaled. This all star law team secured a large settlement for all my suffering. This process was very well advised by an aggressive and determined lawyer. All I can say is now I’m left a very happy man. Thank you karissa for working quick to bring my tragic story to a much warmer end. Just call them! You won’t regret it!

I was in an accident that resulted in getting whiplash and a concussion. I contacted Phoenix Accident and Injury Law Firm that day. Everyone was helpful (Rhea, Karissa, and Jeff) from the very beginning to the very end. They sent me to a physical therapy location that was pretty far away but the doctor and physical therapist were very kind so I did make the trek. They handled all aspects of my case in a timely manner and answered all my questions. They got the max amount possible, and from that, paid the medical bills and took their fair cut. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family or friends.

I would give ten stars if I could. This law firm is about as professional and friendly as it gets!! They stayed in constant contact with me and answered every question I had. I got a settlement that was higher than I expected and will definitely use this law firm again. I highly recommend hiring them to handle your legal issues!!

What can I say about the Thompson Law Firm? They are AMAZING!! It’s never fun when you need an accident lawyer because you are pretty much in a bad place. Shane and the staff have been wonderful, kept me informed at every step of this process. I would recommend Thompson Law Firm to anyone, in fact, I have referred several friends already!! Thank you Thompson Law Firm for everything you did for me!!!

These guys were absolutely amazing. They were very clear with me about what I needed to do on my end and I saw fast results. I just recommended them to a friend a week ago and he also dealt with my mother's case. I wouldn't see anyone else.
