West Virginia Amputation Injury Attorneys
An amputation may seem like a nightmare to someone who has never lost an arm, leg, finger, hand or foot. People often talk about personal losses as being similar to “losing an arm or a leg.” If you have, in fact, lost an arm or a leg, you realize that it may not be the end of the world; however, you also understand that you have much to cope with – and pay for – as a result of your loss of limb, including:
- Emergency medical care
- Surgery
- Ongoing medical treatments
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Necessary durable medical equipment, such as a wheelchair or walker
- A prosthesis (artificial limb), which may need to be replaced periodically
The Impact of a loss of limb
You may be left with lingering phantom pain (pain that feels like it is coming from a now-absent limb), neuropathy and difficulty completing daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning and driving. You may require personal assistance from a caregiver, at least until you learn to take care of yourself with new restrictions. Your home may need remodeling, to widen doorways and lower countertops, for example, depending on the nature of your dismemberment. A skillful personal injury attorney can help ensure that all your needs are taken into account as compensation is calculated.
