Hi all! Welcome back to my blog!
I have been talking a lot about my experience with disability and the issues those with disabilities face. I have mostly talked about learning disability and invisible disabilities. This time, I am touching a little on physical disabilities, particularly limb loss or amputation.
I have personally known people who had to have parts of their limbs amputated because of diabetes. I myself am prediabetic. Diabetes is a leading cause of amputation. Around 160,000 amputations are performed each year due diabetes in the my country of the United States. Approximately 185,000 amputations over all are done. Nearly 2 million people in the United States are living with limb loss.
I was recently contacted by a company to share a guide on living with limb loss or amputation. Adjusting to limb loss is not easy. My blog is all about spreading awareness on the experience of living with a disability, so I decided to accept the company’s collaboration offer. Their guide focuses on helping people with amputations adjust to driving with limb loss. Amputation and limb loss does not have to mean the loss of independence.
The company I’m collaborating with is a law firm called RichmondVona that focuses on injury cases. The law firm is located in New York in the United States. The company was founded by lawyers John E. Richmond and Keith R. Vona, who have over 20 years of experience. They have helped their clients win over $200 million. RichondVona prides itself on valuing each individual client like a part of a family.
