ACCIDENTAL NERVE DAMAGE COMPENSATION
Accidental nerve damage is one of the most serious and painful incidents that can happen to your body. The nerves are responsible for controlling sensitivity and sensation in most parts of the body and damage often results in either loss of sensation or enhanced sensation manifesting as pain. Loss of sensation may also lead to loss of function of the body part controlled by that particular nerve or nerves.
