If you’ve suffered a body or limb injury, there is a good chance that you are entitled to compensation. Because body and limb injuries often impair victims’ ability to work and even care for themselves, these injuries can receive hefty sums as compensation.

Have you suffered a body and/or limb injury?
These injuries can happen in a number of ways, from auto accidents to sports accidents to job site accidents- any situation in which the body or limbs is being struck, twisted, crushed, or wrenched. The symptoms of these injuries can be easy or very difficult to spot:

• Compound fractures or dislocations
• Severed limbs or body parts
• Cracked bones
• Sprains, strains, or torn muscles
• Internal muscle or organ damage

What are the results of body and limb injuries?
In nearly all cases, body and limb injuries mean the victim loses some use of their body or limbs, temporarily or permanently. A broken bone can often equal time lost from work and, if the injury is severe enough, a stay in the hospital and a lengthy rehabilitation. A severed limb can result in a loss of work, significant emotional trauma, and months with a physical therapist. Of course, this means massive medical bills and loss of income.

What should you do if you have a body and limb injury?
After first getting primary medical care, contact a legal professional. Many attorneys specialize in obtaining compensation for body and limb injury victims and will give you a free case consultation.

Disfigurements can happen for any number of reasons, but the fact remains that they are always painful and costly to treat, and they often result in the person’s physical and mental anguish. There are some disfigurements that are caused because of genetics, including:

• acne
• cleft lip
• birthmarks
• eczema

Disfigurements can happen because of an accident, including:

• workplace injury
• construction accident
• falls
• bicycle accident
• car accident

Disfigurements can be caused by assault or other trauma, including:

• physical assault
• rape
• gunshot wounds
• intentional falls
• knife wounds

Disfigurements can also happen because of malpractice, including:

• dental malpractice
  • nerve damage
  • scars
  • unnecessary tooth extraction
  • unnecessary surgery
  • failed diagnosis or treatment
• infection
• medical malpractice
  • unnecessary amputations or amputation of the wrong limb

Often, disfigurements are caused by someone else. In the case of an accident, someone else may be at fault. In cases of medical, dental or plastic surgery malpractice, the doctor, nurse, dentist, or other medical personnel are responsible.
