After the trauma of the event, you may not even know what to do after an amputation. Severed limbs may leave the victim with serious side effects including poor circulation in the remaining part of the limb, intense pain, increased risk of infection, phantom pain in the missing limb or digit and sores & cysts at the injury site. The need for psychological counseling, rehabilitation, and/or pain medications may be long-term as well.
Many victims who have suffered the loss of a limb(s) must make significant adjustments to their life. He or she may need extensive rehabilitation to once again manage fundamental skills including standing, walking, bathing, eating, and getting dressed. Daily tasks that were once simple may now be difficult or impossible. As the victim of an amputation you may be entitled to:
