Work-Related Accidents ◊ Motor Vehicle Accidents ◊ Slips and Falls
If you have suffered an injury in the past and you have nagging pain that simply won't go away, you may be suffering from reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The incessant pain may make it difficult or impossible for you to work. You may need extensive medical treatment, including prescriptions to deal with the pain. When you suffer chronic pain as a result of someone else's careless or negligent behavior, you want an experienced lawyer to help you pursue full and fair compensation for all your losses.
I am attorney Lyndon R. Helton. For nearly 20 years, I have handled personal injury claims involving people in western North Carolina. Though I now dedicate my practice exclusively to the needs of injured people, I started my legal career as an insurance defense attorney. I saw firsthand how insurance companies seek to profit at the expense of working people. I know the strategies and tactics they use to try to delay, deny or diminish a legitimate claim.
Protecting the Rights of People Who Suffer Chronic Pain
The terms RSD and CRPS tend to be used interchangeably to describe a condition that arises after a traumatic injury, such as a broken bone, contusion or muscle injury. The symptoms of RSD/CRPS include:
- Heightened sensitivity in the skin around the injury
- Changes in skin color, temperature or texture
- Burning pain
- Restricted movement in the injured part of the body
- Stiffness or swelling
- Loss of body hair or nails near the injury
When you hire me to help you recover damages for a chronic pain injury, I will carefully investigate the facts and circumstances of your initial injury, gathering evidence to demonstrate that your chronic pain started after this injury. I will work closely with medical professionals to document the full extent of your suffering, working with expert witnesses if necessary to prepare and present the strongest case for your recovery. I will also help you obtain access to treatments that may help alleviate your suffering.
