Understanding Amputation Injuries and Your Rights
Amputations occur when a body part, such as an arm, leg, hand, or foot, is surgically removed due to severe trauma or medical necessity. Such injuries often stem from catastrophic accidents or medical errors that leave victims with a significantly altered quality of life. If another party’s negligence caused your injury, you have the right to seek compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Including surgeries, hospital stays, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
- Lost Income and Earning Potential: Compensation for the time you missed work and your diminished capacity to earn in the future.
- Pain and Suffering: Acknowledging the physical pain, emotional trauma, and life adjustments you have had to endure.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Costs associated with modifying your home, getting specialized mobility aids, or retraining for a new career.
Our experienced lawyers can help you understand your rights, investigate the circumstances of your injury, and determine who is liable.
