After a serious truck accident, car accident, construction accident or any other type of accident, victims have high hopes of a full recovery. However, some patients experience lasting painful consequences such as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD), compartment syndrome or arachnoiditis.
RSD is a condition that often follows an arm or leg fracture. Symptoms may include pain spread over a broad area — not just this site of the break — as well as swelling and limitation of movement. These troublesome symptoms often last much longer than the period of time that the bone takes to heal.
If you have arrived at this Web page because you suffer from RSD or any other chronic ailment after suffering an orthopedic injury, we encourage you to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
A patient with RSD or a similar condition should be especially careful not to accept a settlement after an accident before fully understanding the long-term prognosis. Does your doctor say that you are likely to suffer ill effects of RSD for months or years to come? You may be unable to return to work for a long time — or indefinitely. Your disability should be taken into account in your claim or lawsuit against any negligent party such as a truck driver, a trucking company or a truck manufacturer.
