Many lawyers, in our experience, are too likely to treat an RSD client like they treat an auto whiplash client - there is very little objective injury, and the client is complaining of pain. Some of our clients have come to us after becoming dissatisfied with their lawyers' attempts to pressure them into settling for a small amount of money. What many lawyers do not realize is that RSD is much worse than a broken arm or leg. The majority of our RSD clients end up on permanent and total disability. The lifetime medical bills alone can be enormous. Most of our clients are financially devastated by the syndrome.
RSD syndrome can also be socially debilitating. Many of our clients find it hard to maintain a marriage, act as parents and to keep their friends while contending with severe chronic pain that many others have trouble understanding. At Sanders, Sanders, Block, Woycik, Viener & Grossman we have tried to help RSD disease sufferers who do not want to take the risk of going to an attorney who does not understand how serious RSD is. Because we have had experience helping dozens of RSD sufferers, we understand the issues related to chronic pain in an individual's life. We are also familiar with the best ways to discuss that pain with insurance adjusters, defense lawyers and juries. Finally, the experience of our RSD lawyers experience helps in finding experts who are willing and able to give powerful testimony.
