Amputation and Disfigurement
Experienced Lawyers Serving Richmond Hill and Oakville
These losses are often very specialised. Although, emotionally, amputation and disfigurement are traumatic for anyone, the loss of a limb may have a very different economic impact depending on whether you are an accountant or a professional athlete. Losing a limb that affects your mobility may also result in all sorts of difficulties beyond your ability to work.
Similarly, different kinds of disfigurement have different visual and emotional impacts. Disfigurement may involve not only cosmetic damage, but also painful scarring that affects your mobility or causes pain. Scarring can also affect your ability to socialize, enjoy your life and even get or keep a job.
