Common Causes of Amputation Injuries

Motor Vehicle Accidents

With 45% of amputations caused by trauma, motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, and motorcycle) are often the cause of losing a limb.

Construction Injuries

“Struck-by hazards” involving dangerous construction equipment or vehicles hitting a worker, and “caught-in-between” hazards that result in crushing a victim, are two examples of causes of amputation from a construction accident.

Workplace Accidents

An amputation due to an injury on the job may be covered by your employer’s insurance, the job-site insurance, or another bodily injury policy.

How quickly should I speak to a lawyer after an amputation injury?
If your amputation is due to another person’s negligence, such as a car or truck accident, or if it’s a result of a workplace injury, you’ll need to talk to a qualified attorney as soon as possible.

How much is my amputation injury case worth?
The value of a case will vary based on a number of factors, including the type of amputation, your ability to recover from it, and its impact on issues such as your employability. There are a number of possible causes for an injury that results in amputation, from motor vehicle accidents to workplace injuries. It takes an experienced attorney to know how to proceed with a claim for damages, which may include compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. Our free case evaluation can help determine the expected worth of your case.

How much does it cost to hire an amputation injury lawyer?
You don’t pay any legal fees until we win or settle your case. We review your personal injury case for free, and there is no deposit or advance fee required. When a settlement or verdict is reached, then our legal fee is calculated at a percentage (usually one-third) of the total amount awarded. This is called a contingent fee agreement, which is how most personal injury lawyers are paid. Call us for a free case review.
