As the firm's medical administrator, it is my job to understand and evaluate the medical effects of your amputation injury. Partial or total loss of a limb presents new challenges for the amputee. Our main concern is to make sure that our clients get the best possible medical care.

Steinbrecher & Associates work closely with doctors who specialize in amputation injuries. We have the resources to have our client evaluated and treated by doctors specializing in amputation injuries. These specialists include: orthopedists, neurologists, vascular surgeons and psychiatrists.

Amputation of a limb may result in either a partial or a complete amputation. Partial amputation results in some limited functional use of the limb. With complete amputation, the entire limb is lost.

With partial or complete amputation, future medical care is important. This may include fitting of a prosthetic device by an orthotic specialist. The prosthesis can be for cosmetic reasons, or functional use. The amputee also needs psychological support to deal with the tragic loss of a limb. Phantom limb pain occurs because the brain continues to send signals to the amputated limb. Our team is here not only to prepare your case for trial, but also to help you prepare to return to the fullest life possible.

Contact us, and we can discuss your medical and legal situation. In the meantime, there are a great many quality amputation injury resources available on-line. There are sites that discuss in great detail what has happened to you, and what the future might hold. There are support groups, not just for you, but for your family and loved ones too, to help them deal with the changes that occur as a result of amputation injury.
