or of the use of a limb, whether permanently or
temporarily, may impact drastically upon your
ability to work, to look after your family, indeed
to do any of the things that hitherto may have
been taken entirely for granted.

everything all right. But it can help negate the
difficulties caused by the circumstances in which
the victim has suddenly, and without warning,

a person suffers an accident through no fault
of their own, accident compensation will often
