In many cases, the injured person will regain a great deal of functioning and will remain independent and employable. In some cases, the person may no longer be able to do the work they once did, or may need adaptive equipment in order to work.
Our injury attorneys have obtained significant compensation to cover medical bills, rehabilitation therapy, prosthetics, adaptive equipment, and vocational retraining for people who have lost a limb due to amputation.
In some cases, your compensation ends with that lump-sum payment. In other situations, we may be able to seek compensation from a party other than your employer. If a third party was at fault or contributed to the accidental amputation, we can file a personal injury claim against that party.
You can seek compensation for your medical costs, prosthetic and adaptive equipment costs, therapy, retraining and vocational counseling, pain and suffering, and future medical costs.
The loss of that body part will have a significant effect on your vocational ability. This is where analysis and legal advocacy enter the picture. We work with vocational planners and financial analysts to document your abilities and any disabilities in order to understand and quantify the lifetime financial consequences of your loss.
As in any personal injury case, when we represent someone who has lost a limb, we have two goals. First, we must prove that the defendant was at fault. Then, our lawyers need to document the full extent of the injuries and how much they will cost our client today, tomorrow and in the future.
