Amputation Injuries and Medical Experts
We work with medical experts and a variety of other professionals to build a comprehensive case for damages after a loss of use or dismemberment injury:
- The person may need a lifetime of prosthetic limbs, a wheelchair or modifications of the home and vehicles.
- The costs of reattachment surgery or plastic surgery result in huge medical bills.
- Physical/occupational therapy may be required to adapt to the disability.
- If the person cannot return to work, he or she must be compensated for future earnings and/or vocational retraining.
- Compensation should cover the hardships of permanent disfigurement or a limp, pain and suffering, and the person's lost enjoyment of life.
