Filing Workers Comp Claims in Atlanta for Types of CRPS

A work injury can be devastating, considering that you may be forced to take time off and lose income, but it can be more traumatic if you develop complex regional pain syndrome, also referred to as CRPS. If this occurs when you have been injured at work, speak with a Georgia work injury attorney to see if you are able to pursue compensation through Workers Comp claims in Atlanta.

Filing Workers Comp Claims in Atlanta for 2 Types of CRPS

There are 2 types of CRPS, which typically occur in the area where your injury occurred: 

• Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome: this is the most common type of CRPS that develops after an illness or accident injury that showed no direct impact to the nerves in the region of the injury. 
• Causelgia: this type of CRPS affects about 10% of those whose nerves were directly damaged in the region of the initial illness or accident injury. 

Scientists are not able to determine why such injuries can arise from CRPS, but it is believed that there is a miscommunication with the central and peripheral nervous systems.

If you ever notice signs of CRPS, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible before symptoms worsen. If you have been seriously injured in a work-related accident, you should also seek legal help with a Georgia work injury attorney to see if you can pursue Workers Comp claims in Atlanta.
