amputation lawsuit

hold liable parties responsible

While no dollar amount could ever replace the loss you’ve suffered, our amputation attorneys will fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Amputation lawsuits typically fight for the following compensation:

• Medical expenses, including:
  
  • Hospital bills,
  • Physician bills, and
  • Physical therapy bills
• Cost of prosthetics
• Lost wages
• Lost earning capacity
• Disfigurement
• Disability
• Loss of quality of life
• Future costs resulting from the amputation

Depending on the nature of your pre-accident employment, you may be entitled to restitution for the income you’ve lost recovering from your accident. If your injury prevents you from working in the same way you worked before the injury, you may be able to recover the difference in wages should you have to get a new job.

A large percentage of amputation compensation awards typically consist of recovery for pain and suffering. Beyond the physical pain of the initial injury and the long road to recovery, you may be able to recover compensation for “phantom pain,” a painful sensation from the limb or appendages no longer attached to the body.

Additionally, you may be able to recover for the emotional distress and lowered quality of life as a result of the amputation. To discuss these options and more, contact The Law Offices of Foster & Houston today by dialing (800) 310-0983.
