Amputation Injuries

Traumatic Amputations:  Understanding Your Rights and Options

Experiencing a traumatic amputation is not only physically challenging but also emotionally and mentally taxing. It’s a life-altering event that brings with it a host of challenges, ranging from the obvious physical loss to deep emotional and financial burdens.

An amputation injury, also known as loss of limb, refers to the complete or partial removal of an upper or lower limb or extremities, including legs, feet, toes, arms, hands, or fingers. Such injuries can arise from various causes, including:

• Surgical removal to prevent the spread of infection or manage pain, especially in non-healing wounds.
• Severe injuries like crush incidents.
• Medical malpractice, where a failure in professional care leads to wrongful amputation.
• Accidents, such as vehicle crashes or work-related injuries.

The consequences of amputation injuries extend far beyond the physical loss. They often significantly impact one’s career, social interactions, and necessitate ongoing medical care and rehabilitation. This not only affects the patient but also profoundly impacts their family’s quality of life.

If your amputation was the result of someone else’s negligence or a wrongful act, you might be entitled to file an amputation claim. These claims seek to hold the responsible party accountable and provide you with the compensation you deserve.
