If you're not learning to touch type by one hand, then you're not serious about your life. No matter what reason causes you to injure your fingers, you're still able to use the computer, and type fast as a normal typist. No matter which hand you are injured, the left hand or right hand, you're able to communicate with others around world via the internet, even go to work like other health persons by using the computer to complete a variety of tasks.

That means you have no chance to select an especial keyboard layout during working. In theory, those using one handed dvorak should be best. But it's just not the case. Using one handed dvorak, you have to get one dvorak keyboard, and it makes you greatly different from other two handed person, and more, it's more expensive than others.
