Loss of Limb Injuries

Nearly 2 million Americans are currently living without a limb, according to the Amputee Coalition, nearly half of which suffered the injury as the result of trauma, such as from a car accident or medical error. The loss of a limb is a life-altering event. The adjustment isn't easy and it often includes coping with phantom pain, related skin disorders and mental and emotional anguish. It can also be quite expensive: hospital costs associated with amputation exceed $8.3 billion in the U.S. each year.

If you or someone you love has lost a limb as the result of an accident, you should seek the counsel of an experienced attorney to determine whether you may be entitled to legal relief for the injury. The law allows a person injured as a result of another's negligence to recover a variety of monetary damages, including those covering medical costs, long-term care, lost wages and pain and suffering. The person often must file a personal injury lawsuit in order to obtain the available relief, but these matters can also be settled without going to court in certain circumstances.
