Limb Loss & Amputation

Limb Loss & Amputation Lawyers

Dealing with an injury can be challenging to overcome physically and mentally. The issue intensifies when you lose a limb that needs to be amputated. Amputation occurs when your limb (legs or arms) is so severely damaged that it is beyond repair or if the limb’s infection can cause danger to the rest of the body. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, traumatic or catastrophic injury accounts for about 45% of all amputations. The physical recovery can last weeks, but the emotional healing typically lasts longer than expected. We want to help ease your way back to everyday life as much as possible, and with that comes the fight. The fight you will have for your health and we will take on to ensure you are financially compensated for your loss and trauma.

Moving forward

It’s important to remember that not all hope is lost after such an injury. The road to recovery may seem lengthy, but your optimism should be prioritized to help speed up the rehabilitation. Depending on your injury’s seriousness, your doctor may suggest a team of therapists. Therapists can include:

• Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Doctor
• Physical Therapist
• Prosthetic or Orthotic Expert
