Default Lawsuit

I realize from previous threads that suing for crps is difficult if not impossible to prove. I have a question about this that is unusual.

Has anyone on this board successfully sued for crps? I'm not thinking about suing my doctors and my crps wasn't the result of any workers' comp or surgery. However, I have had a variety of minor injuries in my life which never resulted in crps. (How many of us have wondered why we got crps?--- I know, I know.) With that said, I realize crps can be highly influenced by stress. My family was under a great deal of stress at the time of my initial injury and continues to be. I know, I know, every family with a loved one with crps is under a great deal of stress.

My stress was extremely heightened (actually caused) by a family member's first ever lawsuit against a major corporation. It is still ongoing. I fluctuate between anger and stress at this corporation. I can't go into much detail about that here but the idea of adding my illness to the suit is something in my mind (or starting an new suit- that would be our second ever suit.)

I had very casually met a paralegal and told her about my crps and that stress is considered a factor in the development and flares of crps. She said that from her limited experience, factors can be a reason to sue. I told her the corporation had deep pockets and she said, all the more reason to sue- deep pockets, larger settlement.

Right now I'm frustrated, angry, stressed. (Today was a bad, bad day.)

Thanks for any input.
