What chronic pain conditions can I claim for?

Here are some examples of conditions that may qualify for compensation:

Some people who have an accident injury, such as a back sprain or pulled muscle, experience ongoing chronic pain. It’s believed that chronic pain develops after nerves become damaged.

Post-surgery chronic pain can be caused by nerve damage during the surgery, improper healing, persistent inflammation, tissue scarring, underlying health conditions, and poor pain management during recovery.

Chronic pain is often associated with illnesses such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, and endometriosis. If the pain stops you from working, you may be able to claim compensation.

Shanelle's story

Shanelle's story

I didn't choose to seek compensation, I needed to

When department manager and devoted mother Shanelle was refused surgery for her injury, she turned to us for help.

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s just good to know that there are people out there who actually care that I’m injured. And that’s what Law Partners is about – they care.”

We all had one thing in common

I had no income so I was pretty stuck

Financial hardship as a result of serious injury is not only devastating to the individual but also their family. These people have managed to come out the other side and we’re honoured to have helped them on their journey.

John's story

I didn't want to wake up the next day

A freak work accident suffered years ago completely altered the course of John’s life. He could no longer work, he lost his family, suffered financially and effectively lost the will to live.
