What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is defined as long-term pain or discomfort that persists for more than 12 weeks. It is pain that does not respond to typical pain relief methods or treatment of the underlying cause. Chronic pain may affect the entire body or be localised to specific areas, and it can occur either intermittently or constantly. If you are experiencing chronic pain as a result of an injury or accident, you may be entitled to make a claim for chronic pain compensation.
How is Chronic Pain caused?
Chronic pain can result from trauma or injury. After events such as a traumatic accident, surgery, or infection, the body’s pain receptors may remain active in the nervous system for months, causing the pain to persist even after the injuries have healed.
In some cases, chronic pain occurs without any clear evidence of physical damage. Common causes of chronic pain include fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
What are the most common accidents associated with Chronic Pain?
Accidents such as slips, trips and falls, road traffic collisions, and falls from height are often to blame for many Chronic Pain Claims. These types of accidents can have a lasting impact on someone’s health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
These accidents happen frequently in workplaces or public spaces where potential hazards have been overlooked, and as a result, employees or members of the public have been harmed.
If you have sustained a chronic pain injury through no fault of your own, you could be entitled to make a chronic pain injury claim.

General Damages
General Damages compensate for the physical and emotional impact of chronic pain. This includes ongoing suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of enjoyment in daily life caused by the long-term effects of your condition.
Special Damages
Special Damages cover the financial consequences of living with chronic pain. These may include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, travel for treatment, and the cost of ongoing care or support. They are calculated using evidence such as receipts, invoices, and medical assessments.
Together, General and Special Damages form the full compensation amount for a chronic pain claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount of compensation for chronic pain can vary significantly depending on how severe the condition is and how it impacts your daily life. For example, compensation may range from £20,000 for moderate cases to well over £100,000 where chronic pain causes serious, long-term disability or prevents a return to work. Your claim will also consider ongoing care, treatment costs, and any loss of earnings.
Yes, you can. Chronic pain conditions often develop after what might seem like a minor accident or injury. If your symptoms persist well beyond the expected recovery time and impact your ability to work or enjoy life, you may have grounds for a claim.
Common types of chronic pain in injury claims include Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, chronic pain syndrome, and nerve damage. These conditions can follow accidents at work, road traffic collisions, or medical negligence and are often life-altering.
Yes, in most cases you have three years from the date of your accident or from when you first became aware that your pain was linked to an earlier incident. It’s always best to get legal advice as soon as possible to protect your right to claim.
