  • Workplace accidents involving heavy machinery or equipment
  • Construction site accidents
  • Severe burns or electrocution injuries

  • Pain and Suffering: The emotional trauma of adapting to life without a limb is significant and often overlooked.
  • Reduced Quality of Life: Limitations on mobility, independence, and daily activities can affect every aspect of life.
