Amputation Injury Attorneys in Morrow, GA

The loss of a limb is a life-altering experience physically, emotionally, and financially. The trauma of an amputation injury is exponentially compounded when this loss occurs due to recklessness or negligence on the part of another. Nothing can undo this injury, but the counsel and advocacy of a skilled attorney can make things a little easier to deal with.

At the law offices of Stein & Fox, our personal injury lawyers are devoted to helping victims of accidents who have undergone amputations obtain compensatory damages for their losses, from medical and other expenses to lost income to pain and suffering and lifestyle adjustments.

We successfully represent clients who have undergone amputation injuries in various situations, such as:

  • Vehicle accident
  • Truck collision
  • Motorcycle crash
  • Faulty product
  • Construction injury
  • Botched surgery
  • Faulty product
  • Worksite injury
  • Unwarranted medical procedure

Besides compensation for lost income and medical bills, we can also fight hard for your right to collect damages for the following:

  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disfigurement
  • Loss of companionship
  • Emotional distress
  • Embarrassment
  • Disability
  • Loss of quality of life

What are the Outcomes of an Amputation Injury?

Losing a limb can impact your ability to function independently. You may require assistance with performing even the most routine of daily tasks. If you’ve lost a lower limb, for example, your mobility can be seriously limited and you may need to use mobility devices such as crutches, walkers, scooters, and wheelchairs for outdoor movement.

At times, amputation victims suffer from ‘phantom pain’ or pain sensation in the missing limb. The site of the amputation may also lead to serious pain due to the damage to ligaments, nerves, and tendons. This region may be more prone to infection development, which can cause further health issues.

Apart from the above, disability and disfigurement can impact your ability to earn a livelihood and put you in financial difficulty. Most amputation injury victims are also prone to depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders due to the emotional trauma that they have endured. They may need emotional counseling and therapy to restore their confidence and deal with their stressful trauma responses.

Your injury may be covered by your medical insurance plan, but there can be ongoing costs for future treatment, rehab, therapy, and assisted living. You may require prosthetics, which warrant routine care and maintenance. Furthermore, your residence may need to be modified to accommodate any disability you may have due to the crash.

Such expenses will not be covered under your insurance policy, and they can cause a heavy financial drain on you due to an accident caused by another’s negligence. A qualified personal injury attorney can help your recover damages from the responsible party (or parties) to help you meet all your current and projected future expenses.

Life Care Plans to Manage Amputation Injuries

Diligent care is necessary for amputation injuries. Apart from the original treatment cost for the medical procedures, there may be ongoing consultation to care for the healing wound, which could continue for several months and even years after your incident.

Prosthetic use can help amputation injury victims regain at least some level of their limb functions. The prosthetics are likely to wear out with time and will warrant servicing and replacement several times.

The place of residence of an amputation injury victim is likely to require modifications to make it possible for them to move around. On top of this, they may require mobility equipment to go outdoors or get around the house.

Along with these factors, there will be costs related to physical and occupational therapy to regain the functions of normal life and to get back into some type of gainful employment. These kinds of expenses can be daunting, and your personal injury lawyer can assist you in identifying an appropriate life care plan to help manage your expenses.

How Our Personal Injury Attorneys Can Assist You

At Stein & Fix, our personal injury attorneys understand that there are few things worse than losing a limb in a traumatic incident or due to negligence on the part of a medical practitioner.

We know that nothing can reverse what has happened to you and the trauma you’ve suffered, but we believe that we can help you receive the compensatory damages necessary to alleviate your economic stresses and start rebuilding your life after a tragic amputation.

Our attorneys will assist you in the following ways:

Establishing the Cause of the Accident

It can be challenging to determine exactly how a vehicle crash, workplace accident, or another type of accident occurred. Causation is not always apparent. Our attorneys work with accident reconstruction specialists and other professionals to understand how the accident took place and who is at fault.

Proving Fault and Liability

We do not just determine how an accident occurred but also establish who should be held responsible. In some cases, liability is not clear. For instance, maybe an intoxicated truck driver caused a crash, but the trucking company is liable as it failed to carry out a background check on the trucker before hiring them.

Fighting for Your Right to Damages

After determining the accident’s cause and collecting evidence to show recklessness and liability, our next steps include calculating your damages, issuing a demand letter, and getting you your rightful compensation award. We will fight tirelessly on your behalf and take the case to trial if required.

During this entire process, our legal team is available to address any questions you may have regarding the claims process, assist you navigate the state legal system, and represent you in all interactions with insurers.

Hire a Qualified Personal Injury Attorney for Maximum Compensation

Every amputation injury is distinct, and you need to determine whether your specific injury entitles you to claim damages. Irrespective of whether you suffered an amputation due to medical malpractice or being involved in an accident, having a skilled personal injury lawyer on your side can make a world of difference in the amount of compensatory damages you can recover.

The amputation injury attorneys at Stein & Fox will work as your legal advocates. Our aim is to thoroughly investigate your case and collect relevant evidence on fault, liability, and damages. This information allows us to aggressively seek compensation and hold the wrongdoers accountable.

If you or someone you love has had an amputation or a prosthetic replacement due to a devastating accident, you may be entitled to financial damages. You do not have to pay us anything until and unless we recover for you. For a complimentary case review, call today at (770) 961-1700.
