Relief That Works: Pain Management Options After a Serious Injury

Injured at work or on the road? You don't have to live in pain. 

At McCarron Law Firm, we understand that pain can linger long after the accident. If you're living with discomfort from a personal injury, you deserve a treatment plan that works to improve the quality of your life.

Thanks to advances in modern medicine, there are many effective, minimally invasive options available to reduce or even eliminate pain, without heavy reliance on medication or complex surgery.

Pain Management Treatment Options:
• Regenerative Therapy. Includes PRP and stem cell injections, which use your own body’s healing power to repair damaged tissues.
• Nerve Blocks. These injections can stop pain signals at their source — especially helpful for neck, back, or joint pain.
• Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA). A non-surgical option that uses heat to disable nerves responsible for chronic pain.
• Spinal Cord Stimulators. Implanted devices that disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.
• Epidural & Facet Joint Injections. Effective for spinal injuries, herniated discs, and arthritis-related pain.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures. Such as the Vertiflex Procedure or MILD treatment for spinal stenosis — with faster recovery and less risk.

How to Know Whether you have a Wrongful Death Case?

Wrongful death claims are sensitive and complex by nature. Often, unlike with personal injury claims, we cannot call directly upon the one who has been directly impacted. This is why an experienced and effective representation is critical. At McCarron Law Firm, we can offer you the information and professional representation that you can always feel confident and comfortable with. We can’t change the past, however we provide you with the best possible outcomes as the law will allow.

What is Wrongful Death?

Both wrongful death and personal injury arise when the negligent, or intentional actions of another cause someone to experience harm. Aside from this common trait, these two claims are very different from one another. Under Illinois Law, wrongful death is listed as the death of a human being as the result of a wrongful act, neglect, or default of another person. Many different circumstances can classify a situation as a wrongful death. Wrongful death can be brought against a person who is also facing criminal charges in the same event, and even if they are not found guilty of the crime, that person can still be found liable for the wrongful death action.

Some common areas in wrongful death include:

  • Nursing Home Abuse
  • Nursing Home Neglect
  • Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawsuits
  • Medical Malpractice Cases
  • Hit & Run Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Car Accidents
  • Construction Accidents
  • Product Liability Cases
  • Teenage Driving Deaths
