Amputation injuries can involve a great deal of adjustment, both physically and emotionally. Although minor amputations, such as the loss of a finger or toe, may allow a person to resume their lives completely after a few weeks, more extensive amputations, such as to an arm or a leg, take a much longer period of time to become used to and recover from. Medical expenses for surgery and rehabilitation can be high, and the affected person may not be able to return to their former employment.

The Catastrophic Injury Resource Center is dedicated to supporting amputation injured patients those have been suffered in an accident and they are looking for affordable medical treatment for their injuries. We provide counseling to amputation patients regard to the nationwide availability of decreased cost or free medical treatment from various organizations and referrals to those organizations. In cases that qualify, medical treatment may be partially or fully funded.
