The amputation or the loss of the use of a limb is a traumatic event. The full impact of that event may not be known for years to come. A partial amputation may result in the atrophying of the muscles connected to and supportive of that limb. Also, apart from amputations, service members may suffer such an extensive injury to their limb that they lose the use of the limb. This can cause muscle tissue to atrophy as well.
If you have suffered the amputation of a limb or the loss of the use of a limb due to an accident that occurred while you were serving in the military, our firm can help you secure the full range of veterans' disability benefits to which you are entitled.
At The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C., our North Carolina veterans' disability lawyer has a deep understanding of VA policies and procedures. We have been helping veterans secure the benefits they deserve for decades. We know how to bring the full impact of your disability to light.
The VA Often Misses the Full Scope of an Injury
Along with muscle atrophy and other physical injuries that may be related to an amputation or the loss of the use of a limb, mental health issues may be caused by such an injury. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can plague an individual after he or she has been through an event as traumatic as one that would cause an amputation or so disfigure a limb that it is no longer usable. PTSD can affect your ability to find and maintain employment.
We will create an effective presentation of the full scope of your disability to the VA.
