Amputation Injuries
In automobile or workplace accidents, body parts that commonly get severed are arms, legs, fingers, toes, hands or feet. The accident may either completely sever the part or it may crush it so drastically that it has to be surgically removed. Amputation may also result from medical negligence or untreated infections.
Apart from the physical pain and suffering, amputations can cause severe emotional and psychological trauma too. Post-traumatic stress disorder, phantom-limb syndrome, anxiety, phobia, sleep disturbances, fear and psychosomatic illnesses can result, along with depression and suicidal tendencies. Long term psychiatric care and counseling may be required.
Fitting of prosthesis, rehabilitation and re-training can take years to complete, leaving the person dependent physically, financially and emotionally on others.
