Injured by PRP Treatment

Personal Injury Lawyer Lakeland, FL

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting edge treatment for anything from sports injuries to hair loss. The idea is that giving someone an injection of PRP directly into damaged tissue will stimulate cell growth which promotes healing and rejuvenation. While PRP treatments are not regulated by the FDA, this doesn’t mean they aren’t safe when administered correctly.

PRP treatment has the potential to successfully treat many ailments. These can range from hair loss to joint injuries. But it does require a doctor who knows what they’re doing. If not, you could easily be injured by the treatment, just like with any other injury or medical treatment. Be aware, that your insurance may not offer you any coverage as most insurance companies treat PRP as experimental and outside their coverage liability.

If you are injured during a PRP treatment, you need to seek immediate medical care. Once you do that, then you need a skilled personal injury attorney at your side.

Being injured by a medical facility and doctor should never happen but, unfortunately, it does. Having a trusted attorney review your case will give you the peace of mind you need to make sure you get on the path to recovery. In order to help you recover, we can collect damages for you. These can be:

 

  • Pain and suffering – You have been injured through no fault of your own. You should not be required to have any costs associated with your injury. Pain and suffering damages help you get on the path to recovery by accounting for the pain and suffering you’ve had to endure.
  • Lost wages – During your time of injury, you may have had to miss work. Again, this was through no fault of your own. You should be compensated for your missed time at work.
  • Medical expenses – What can quickly become extremely expensive are medical costs associated with an injury. Both present and future medical bills must be accounted for in order to make sure you recover every bit you need to make a full and speedy recovery.

 

Recovering damages doesn’t make you whole again but it will help ease the recovery process. Damages are there to make sure you don’t end up in financial ruin because of an injury you didn’t cause.

It’s important that you do your due diligence and review the doctor and facility you’re going to for PRP treatment. Even if they seem legitimate, they may not be and you could quickly find yourself in a tough, rough, and painful spot.
