Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses his strategy for handling Chronic Pain/CRPS cases. He emphasizes that an important aspect of handling these cases is understanding what chronic pain, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), represents for the victim and their family. Chronic pain often becomes a family issue, and CRPS can significantly affect relationships. Individuals experiencing chronic pain are likely to interact differently with their attorney compared to those who are not in pain. From his perspective, it is essential to support clients throughout the process and gain a clear understanding of their experience.

He notes that while progressing a case from point A to point B is one challenge, guiding the client from their current state to a place of understanding and acceptance is another. Additionally, he highlights the difficult reality that even when a case concludes, the condition often persists. Clients may mistakenly associate their recovery with the outcome of the case, believing that resolution will alleviate their suffering. In reality, while compensation may improve their financial situation, the underlying condition remains.
