The loss of an eye, leg or arm is a loss like no other. After a loss of a body part, many people still feel the lost appendage is there. Adapting to such a loss, and coping with the psychological effects is a gradual process. Although grateful to be alive, after a brush with death in a car accident, construction site accident, falling accident or truck accident, you cannot help but feel incomplete.
Mary E. Jeffers, Denver lawyer and former claims adjuster, has handled more that 4,000 injury and disability cases. If you have suffered the amputation of your leg, arm, foot or hand, in a motor vehicle accident, truck accident or in a construction accident, contact our disability law firm for a free consultation.
At first, your arm, shoulder, leg or hip wound needs time to heal. As mentioned above, damage to your nerve endings may cause you to experience phantom pain. Over the long term, you will need to adapt to your permanent disability, and become ambulatory again.
You will experience short-term financial losses arising from the costs of such thing as surgery, an ambulance, and the emergency room. You may also experience expenses arising from follow-up care and close monitoring of your healing with an eye on potential complications like infection or staff. If you miss work, you will need replacement of unpaid wages.
Most people who suffer amputations never make the same living that they did before. Job training, vocational rehabilitation, psychological therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, prosthetics, and durable medical equipment are expensive and will comprise your long-term financial losses. Truck drivers, musicians, and construction workers will probably find it impossible to work as before at similar jobs.
You can be assured that Mary Jeffers, a personal injury lawyer, at the law firm of Mary E. Jeffers will listen to you with a former claims adjuster’s knowledge and experience. Attorney Jeffers is well qualified to evaluate your claim and case, communicate with your doctors and therapists to determine the prescribed recommended therapies for the best attainable rehabilitation outcomes, and negotiate with the insurance company.
Ms. Jeffers’ building has plenty of parking and handicap access to accommodate disabilities.
