California Amputation Injury Lawyers
Losing a limb or part of a limb is life-changing. It affects how you work, how you care for yourself and how you take part in the activities you love. When an amputation is caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the physical, emotional and financial impact. Yerushalmi Law Firm fights for people who have suffered traumatic amputations and for the families who support them.
How Amputation Injuries Happen
- Car, truck and motorcycle crashes
- Workplace and construction accidents involving heavy machinery
- Defective products such as power tools, saws and industrial equipment
- Crush injuries and severe burns that lead to surgical amputation
- Medical complications that result from delayed or improper treatment of an injury
The Long-Term Impact
An amputation often means surgery, hospital stays, rehabilitation, prosthetic devices that must be replaced over time, and ongoing therapy. Many people also face phantom limb pain, the need to change careers and emotional challenges such as anxiety and depression.
What Compensation May Cover
Depending on your case, compensation may include medical bills and future care, prosthetics and their replacement, rehabilitation, home and vehicle modifications, lost income and lost earning capacity, and pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
What To Do After an Amputation Injury
- Get emergency care and follow every part of your treatment plan.
- Keep records of medical bills, prosthetic costs and time missed from work.
- Preserve any equipment, tools or products involved in the accident.
- Do not accept a settlement offer without speaking with an attorney.
