Nearly two million people in the United States live with limb loss and there are approximately 185,000 new amputations each year. In Ohio, amputations often stem from injuries sustained on the job, with more than 5,000 workers affected in the past decade.
Adjusting to life as an amputee means having to relearn how to live and deal with new challenges. If you have lost a limb, you must acquire new skills to function in daily life. In addition to coping with the physical challenges, amputees also face a number of psychological repercussions.
If your injuries were the consequence of someone else’s negligence, however, you must also deal with the complexities of the legal process when seeking financial compensation. Handling these issues should not be something you have to face alone. If you have suffered an amputation injury, our experienced personal injury lawyers can help you to recover damages for your medical costs, pain and suffering, and other losses.
Loss of Arm, Loss of Foot, and Loss of Limbs
With amputation, your life changes dramatically and there can be many negative complications even after the procedure is complete. Finding the right attorney to help you secure compensation for these injuries is crucial to your and your family’s future well-being.
At the Ohio Car Accident Lawyers , our attorneys have nearly two centuries’ worth of combined experience. We have worked on a wide variety of cases and seen the devastation they can have on our clients and their lives. In a perfect world, insurance companies would always pay fair settlement amounts. Often times, however, insurance adjusters do their best to minimize payments and that is where we step in.
Our legal team will work to maximize your claim amount. Regardless of the part of your body that has suffered an amputation injury, we can help. This includes amputation of a:
- Hand;
- Finger;
- Foot;
- Toe;
- Leg; and/or
- Arm.
The loss of a limb leaves accident victims with many adjustments to make. From dealing with replacement limbs and working through months of physical therapy, the process is draining physically, mentally, and emotionally for everyone involved. In addition, many amputees never recover enough to be able to perform the work they once did or find replacement employment. Our attorneys will work with you to assess the complete extent of your injury and how it will impact the rest of your life to ensure that you receive compensation accordingly.
Over the years we have successfully negotiated favorable settlements for our clients. Even when insurance companies have refused to bring fair offers to the table, we have continued to fight for our clients. We will do the same to you, taking cases to trial if necessary.
