My accident was months ago, why do I still have pain?

During your accident you may have suffered injury to a nerve without knowing it. This can lead to complex regional pain syndrome or CRPS. This is also sometimes called reflex sympathetic dystrophy or RSD.

You are injured in an accident nerve damage is not properly diagnosed and treated you may find several months later you're still in pain due to CRPS. There are two basic types of CRPS. 

CRPS Type I (also referred to as RSD) – are cases in which the nerve injury cannot be immediately identified. 

CRPS type II (also referred to as causalgia) – are cases in which think "major nerve" injury has occurred. 

Just because you've seen a doctor, doesn't always mean you're healed. If you've been in an accident and the insurance is not paying for your treatment, you might want to get an attorney.

Their Insurance already sent me money, can I still hire an attorney?

In most cases YES.

Their Insurance already sent me money, why do I need an attorney?

Having an attorney on your side will help protect your rights to make sure you get the money you deserve. Their attorney is only going to give you enough the damage you can see. Many times accident and injury extend way beyond the surface, and you need an attorney to work with you and make sure that you are compensated properly for the extent of your injuries. Even those that you can see.
