Why Feher Law Stands Out for Amputation Cases

Feher Law stands out as a top choice for amputation-related legal needs due to several key factors:

  2. Track Record of Success: One notable example includes Ms. Williams’ case against G&H Non-Medical Emergency Transport in 2019. Despite her challenges as a wheelchair-bound amputee with severe dementia, Ms. Williams received a $1.5 million pain and suffering verdict for a broken femur sustained during transport to dialysis
  3. Litigation and Trial Experience: We’re more than just legal advisors; we’re seasoned litigators ready to handle every facet of your case, from filing to trial.

A Detailed Look into Amputations

What Is an Amputation Injury?

An amputation injury involves the loss of a body part, commonly a limb, either due to traumatic accidents or surgical procedures. Traumatic amputations occur in accidents like car crashes or workplace incidents, while medical professionals perform surgical amputations to address conditions like diabetes or severe trauma. 

These injuries have significant physical and psychological effects, impacting mobility, daily tasks, and mental well-being, necessitating specialized support and legal assistance.

Different Types of Amputation Injuries

Amputation injuries vary in their nature and location, with different types depending on the affected limb or body part:

  • Transtibial: The removal of part or all of the lower leg below the knee. Commonly referred to as a below-the-knee amputation, it affects mobility and may require prosthetic limb support for walking.
  • Transradial: This type of amputation occurs below the elbow, resulting in the loss of part or all of the forearm and hand. Individuals with trans-radial amputations often require prosthetic devices for daily tasks and functionality.
  • Metacarpal: Metacarpal amputation involves removing one or more fingers at the metacarpal bone level, which affects grip strength and dexterity. Prosthetic solutions may aid in restoring hand function.
  • Hemipelvectomy: A rare and severe type of amputation involving the removal of half of the pelvis and leg, often performed to address extensive trauma or cancerous growths in the pelvic region.
  • Digit Amputation: Refers to the loss of one or more fingers or toes, impacting fine motor skills and balance. Prosthetic options and rehabilitation therapy can assist in adapting to the loss of digits.

These are just a few examples of the diverse range of amputation injuries individuals may experience, each presenting unique challenges and considerations for rehabilitation and adaptation.

Common Causes of Amputations

Amputations can result from a variety of causes, some of which may lead to legal cases due to negligence or malpractice:

  • Workplace Accidents: Industrial machinery, equipment malfunctions, and hazardous working conditions can contribute to traumatic amputations in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. Employers have a duty to provide a safe work environment and may be held liable for failing to do so.
  • Medical Malpractice: Surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, or inadequate treatment can lead to the necessity of surgical amputations. Negligence by healthcare professionals, such as improper wound care or mismanagement of medical conditions like diabetes, may result in severe complications requiring limb removal.
  • Vehicle Collisions: Car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian accidents can cause severe injuries, including traumatic amputations. Negligent drivers, defective vehicle components, or unsafe road conditions may contribute to these accidents, potentially leading to legal action to seek compensation for victims.
  • Catastrophic injuries: These may include incidents such as explosions, fires, falls from heights, or acts of violence. In such cases, negligence or recklessness by individuals, property owners, manufacturers, or other entities may be responsible for the injuries sustained. 

In cases where amputations occur due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others, pursuing legal action may be necessary to hold responsible parties accountable. Amputation is a serious result of someone’s carelessness, and in these cases, you could obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Our experienced legal team can assist amputation victims in navigating the complexities of the legal system and advocating for their rights.


Damages and Compensation in Amputation Cases

Victims who have suffered an amputation of a limb can recover compensation for their losses. In these types of personal injury cases, there are three main categories of damages victims can pursue:

  1. Economic Damages: Covers tangible financial losses incurred due to the injury, such as medical expenses, lost wages, physical therapy, future medical expenses, and property damage directly related to the incident.
  2. Non-Economic Damages: Compensate for intangible losses that are harder to quantify, including pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.
  3. Punitive Damages: Also called exemplary damages, they are designed to punish the defendant for reckless or malicious behavior and serve as a deterrent against similar actions in the future.

How a Torrance Spine Injury Lawyer Can Help

When facing the challenges of a spine injury, having a Torrance spine injury lawyer from our firm on your side can make a significant difference:

  1. Case Evaluations: We will thoroughly evaluate your case to determine its strengths, weaknesses, and potential legal options. This assessment ensures that you clearly understand the merits of your claim and the likelihood of success.
  2. Evidence Gathering: Gathering evidence is crucial in building a strong spine injury case. We will collect medical records, expert opinions, witness statements, and other evidence to support your claim and establish liability.
  3. Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Dealing with insurance companies can be discomforting, especially when you’re focused on recovering from a spine injury. Your lawyer will handle all communication and negotiations with insurance adjusters to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, and other losses.
  4. Representation in Court: If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we advocate on your behalf, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making compelling arguments to seek the maximum compensation you deserve.

Critical First Steps After an Amputation Injury

Adjusting to life following an amputation injury can be challenging, but starting off on the right path is crucial. Here’s what you need to do first:

  1. Seek Immediate Medical Care: Get prompt medical attention to address the injury and prevent complications.
  2. Document the Incident: Take scene photos, gather witness contact information, and keep medical treatment records.
  3. Contact a Lawyer: Consult with a lawyer experienced in amputation cases to understand your legal rights and compensation options.

When to File Your Amputation Claim

If you’ve suffered an amputation due to an accident or negligence, it’s important to act quickly but thoughtfully when seeking compensation. You have two years from your injury window to file a claim.

This period is crucial as it allows time to understand the full impact of your injury and gather necessary evidence while ensuring you take advantage of the opportunity for potential compensation due to legal deadlines.

Legal Fees for Your Amputation Injury Case

We understand more than most about the financial concerns that accompany a traumatic event like an amputation injury. That’s why we primarily work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will only owe us fees if we successfully recover compensation for your case. This arrangement allows you to pursue justice without worrying about upfront costs.
