When an Illinois Accident Results in the Loss of a Limb (Part B)

Consequences of an Amputation as a Result of an Accident in ChicagoThe consequences of an amputation from an accident in Chicago can be life-changing. If the amputation affects your ability to continue in your occupation it will mean not only lost wages but future earnings, which may be recoverable in a claim. An amputation can also affect your quality of life, such as enjoying normal activities. For instance, if you were an avid skier and you lost a leg you may be entitled to receive compensation for the loss of life’s pleasures.

There may also be emotional consequences to your amputation. You may suffer psychologically from losing a limb, which may even affect your ability to socialize and function as you did prior to the accident. Damages for emotional distress may also be recoverable in certain cases.

Of course, there are financial consequences to an amputation, which include not only hospital and medical expenses but the cost of getting a prosthetic device, should one be required, along with physical therapy.

There may be future treatment that is necessary, which may also be considered in your personal injury claim.
