Chronic Pain Care and Workers’ Compensation

Despite many employer’s denial of symptoms, or dismissal of your pain, workers’ compensation insurance does have a place in long term, chronic pain care. When you are injured at work, or have a repetitive stress injury, you need to seek medical care, and begin compiling documented accounts of your pain. If your appointed workers’ compensation physician downplays your pain, you have a right to seek a second opinion. Our team can help you secure the medical documentation needed to get the workers’ compensation benefits that you deserve. We know that despite strict timeline deadlines, and the tendency for insurance companies to want to close out cases quickly, there are exceptions to the rules of healing and work-related injuries. Chronic pain is a real concern, one that plagues workers in a variety of occupations. Don’t let your employer make you seek care on your own when they have a responsibility for coverage.

When you suffer from chronic pain, it can be exhausting and frustrating. It may be persistent for years, or you may be experiencing an injury that you fear will result in extended pain. Whether a new injury, or one that has been persistent for years, you need to know what your options for pain management are, and what to expect as time moves forward. As Greenville workers’ compensation attorneys, we can help you pursue the compensation and coverage you need and provide you with the legal guidance that may be necessary for a long-term care program. We understand that injuries and pain issues that are the result of a work accident don’t always heal immediately, and that you may need pain management for chronic care. Let us help you seek the settlement you need moving forward.
