Elements of Amputation Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering in an amputation case is generally a large portion of the recovery. Pain and suffering can include any of the following:

Physical pain
Emotional suffering
Disability
Disfigurement
Embarrassment
Loss of quality of life

Future pain and suffering is also recoverable.

Phantom Pain

Part of the defense case will most likely be that the phantom pain is not compensable pain.

It is, therefore, necessary to hire an expert in the field of amputation pain to build an argument for the best possible pain compensation package for an amputation victim.

Because we are a successful law firm, we have the resources to hire highly experienced experts.

Residual Limb Pain

Pain in the residual limb (stump) can be caused by several factors:

Bruising
Chafing or rubbing of the skin
Poor prosthetic fit
Neuroma (a thickening of nerve tissue)
Bone spurs

It is important not to settle an amputation case too quickly. If you do, you will not be able to go back and get more money for additional pain.
