Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Claims
People can experience lasting and intense pain long after a motor vehicle accident. Often the subject of attack by insurance defense counsel because these symptoms appear disproportionate to the nature of the crash or the severity of the injuries, such medical conditions as chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) or reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) are anything but imaginary or psychosomatic.
The level of discomfort suffered by people with CRPS or RSD is hard to explain in terms of the particular trauma suffered. For this reason, people who experience these symptoms in the aftermath of a collision or other accident can have trouble getting their complaints taken seriously. Therefore, you may encounter difficulty when you present your claim for compensation to ICBC.
