Any catastrophic injury is life-changing. Amputation injuries bring unique challenges to the accident victim, typically including the following:
- Loss of a limb
- Need for surgery and rehabilitation
- Need for occupational therapy and physical therapy
- Need for prosthesis
- Ongoing pain in many cases
- "Phantom pains" that communicate with the brain as if the amputated limb were still in place
- In many cases, inability to continue doing various things that were once an integral part of a person's life
- In some cases, inability to continue at the same job as before
