An amputation injury changes the lives of the victims and their families forever. More often than not, amputations require extensive medical treatment, physical therapy, special equipment, and modifications to their homes and vehicles. Often, the family of an amputee must assume the role of caretaker.

The physical challenges of coping with the loss of a limb, the insecurity about money and increasing bills, along with emotional toll an amputation brings, can seem like too much to take for victims and their families.

If you have been injured in an accident and have suffered the loss of a limb, you should consider contacting one of our Cincinnati amputation injury lawyers today. They will help you make sense of the laws available to accident victims and advise you on how best to proceed with your accident injury claim.

Phantom Pain

Those with amputations often experience pain or feeling that seems to come from their missing body part. For decades, people were convinced that this was all in the amputee’s mind, a purely psychological issue. Doctors and scientists now recognize this post-amputation phenomenon as a real sensation.

While the exact cause of this mysterious feeling remains unknown, experts have found that it originates in the spinal cord and brain.

Treatment for phantom pain can include medications, such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and narcotics. Therapies like nerve stimulation, acupuncture, and spinal cord stimulation can also ease the pain sometimes associated with phantom limbs.

Lacerations, back and spine injuries, and broken bones may be so extensive that the affected limb needs to be amputated. In some cases the trauma from an accident can actually sever a limb.

Trauma-related amputations can occur in car accidents, motorcycle accidents, 18-wheeler accidents, and bus accidents, to name a few.
