Losing a Limb and How it Might Affect You
After you have had to have a limb amputated suddenly following an accident, there is a good chance that you will be facing the reality of damages in your claim. Because of this great loss, you might have had to completely change your lifestyle such as finding a different career that you could handle or facing the fact that future employment opportunities in certain areas will never take place. Some people never return to work after they have received an amputation, especially when it is extremely severe in nature.
Losing a limb does not just impact individuals on a physical level, either; it can also affect them psychologically. You might, for instance, go through various stages of grief if you have suffered such a significant loss as you might not feel as whole as you once did. Losing a limb is much different from any other type of common injury you might see in an accident and can leave you with a variety of feelings that are difficult to handle on your own.
