Accidents causing surgical or traumatic amputation are some of the most challenging cases we deal with.
Recovery and rehabilitation after an amputation can be a long, difficult and painful process. The length of time it takes before you are able to go back to work or home will depend on the type of amputation you’ve had and any ongoing complications such as infections, phantom pain, ongoing surgical procedures. You may need to have an occupational therapist visit your home and assess the environment to ensure it’s favorable for your condition.
A prosthetic limb may need to be fitted depending on your overall condition. Adjusting to life without limbs or using a prosthetic usually takes a considerable amount of rehabilitation and, unfortunately, financial expenses.
If you or a loved one has had a traumatic or surgical amputation following an accident, the accident lawyers at Howard Yegendorf & Associates can help. We represent victims who have had amputations as a result of a catastrophic injury that was caused by someone else’s negligent actions.
