What is an amputation lawyer and what do they do?

A good amputation lawyer will assist clients in bringing legal action against the individuals or entities that were responsible for their injuries. The following are some of the things an amputation injury attorney can help you with:

Investigating

Once an accident occurs, it can be difficult to determine the cause. Experienced amputation lawyers can help you preserve evidence, collect witness statements and get opinions from professionals who are skilled in analyzing all aspects of accidents.

Negotiating

Most clients want to accept the first settlement amount offered to them since they are hoping to move on with their lives, but often it appears to not be the correct decision in this situation. An amputation lawyer can negotiate with insurance companies to get the compensation they deserve.

Defending

If you want to go to trial in order to get the best possible outcome for your case, then you need an amputation lawyer who will have the right skills and knowledge to win your case.

How much does it cost to hire an amputation injury attorney ?

Your amputation injury attorneys work following the principle “no win, no fee”, meaning that you won’t have to pay anything until your case has actually been settled thanks to their help. If you win, your amputation lawyer will get what we call a contingency fee, meaning a percentage – which will depend on the singularities of your case – of the compensation you have earned from the trial.

Is it worth it to have one amputation compensation lawyer on your side if you’ve suffered a serious injury that’s led to the loss of a limb or body part?

The right amputation injury attorney will fight for maximum financial compensation for your catastrophic, life-altering injury to help you move forward.

What are the characteristics of amputation injury cases?

The difference between accidental amputation and necessary amputation

A traumatic amputation is the loss of a limb during an accident, such as a catastrophic car accident in Florida. A medically necessary amputation, on the other hand, is when a surgeon removes a limb or digit for medical reasons, such as a severe infection.

Main causes of traumatic amputation in Florida

Many types of accidents in Florida can lead to traumatic amputations, including:

  • Agricultural accidents.
  • Automobile accidents.
  • Boating injuries.
  • Caught in/between objects or equipment.
  • Dangerous premises.
  • Defective products.
  • Firearm, fireworks and explosives accidents.
  • Industrial or manufacturing accidents.
  • Motorcycle accidents.
  • Truck accidents.
  • Vehicle rollovers.
  • Work injuries.

Most of these accidents are preventable. They occur due to negligence, the legal term for carelessness. If your accident was preventable, the careless or reckless party may be financially responsible for your loss of limb.

If you or a loved one have been enduring an accidental amputation injury as a consequence of the negligence of another party, you can hold this person liable for financing your damages compensation and help cover the costs of your support equipment and medical service, amongst others.

In Florida, you have up to 1 year after the date of the accident, or 4 years after the amputation surgery to file your case and ask for compensation, which means it is important to investigate as soon as possible your amputation accident.

If you want to maximize your chances to win your amputation case, here are some of the most important advices to follow after your accident:

  • Go to the hospital to get medical treatment and attestation.
  • Get the help of an amputation lawyer to build a powerful case.
  • Collect photo and video evidence as well as witnesses and experts testimonies.
  • Do not wait too long before you start to file your case.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
