Regarding Accidental Amputation

San Francisco Personal Injury Attorney

Removal of a body extremity either by surgery or trauma is the medical definition of the term "amputation."  In an accidental amputation, the trauma itself could have caused the amputation, or an injury and its repercussions made surgery of a limb a necessity.  No matter what the cause, the amputation of any body part is a serious medical condition.  If you or a loved one has suffered an amputation brought about by the negligence of another, you may have just cause to bring legal action against the person who caused the amputation to occur.  An amputation is often a life changing event and our best advice is that you seek the help of a trained and experienced San Francisco personal injury lawyer to ensure you receive proper compensation for your injuries.

At the Pacific Attorney Group we believe that you have a right to receive damages if you have suffered an amputation through the negligence of another.  Experience shows us that an essential element to the successful outcome in your case is thorough investigation into the actual causes for the amputation so that the responsible person or persons can be correctly identified.  In a traumatic amputation, the limb is partially or completely severed during an accident.  In some cases there is no way to extract the limb without harming other parts of the body.  At times an injury you have received may cause such serious infection or an eventual inability for a limb to survive, that amputation becomes necessary.  If you have been the victim of an accidental amputation we would like to assist you to begin the process of restoring the quality of your life as much as possible. 

Your Right to Fair Compensation

Accidental amputations can occur as the result of an automobile or motorcycle accident, a workplace or constructions site injury, as a consequence of a defective product, or even due to medical malpractice.  You have certain rights regarding what was done to you and the compensation you may receive.  Our investigation of your case including what occurred, what your current situation is, and what the future holds, all form part of the damages that you may be owed.

Fortunately the technology regarding the manufacture and use of prosthetic limbs has advanced greatly over recent years.  In many cases this allows a person to continue with the life they were leading, doing most - if not all - of the things that they once did.  It is vital that we look at all avenues possible to assist you to recover your life, such as payment for medical costs, lost wages, loss of your ability to earn wages, future medical costs and the pain and suffering you have endured.
