Serving Clients Nationwide

Amputation injuries can rob the victims of many basic capabilities and disrupt their sense of normalcy. These injuries often come with significant emotional and psychosocial pains, especially when victims find it difficult to continue earning a living or enjoying life as before.

Fassold Trial Law understands the devastating impact that amputation and limb loss injuries can have on your life. Due to the high-stakes nature of these cases, our focus is on securing all the financial resources needed to reclaim your life.

No matter where you were injured in the U.S., let our Texas amputation/limb loss lawyer hold the responsible party liable for your serious injuries and losses. We know how insurance companies regularly minimize such devastating injuries, and we will not stand for it. In a recent case we handled, insurers only offered up to $2 million for our client’s catastrophic injuries, but we continued fighting and obtained $21 million to support their family’s future. This outcome demonstrates our commitment to attaining all our clients deserve, even in the face of challenging insurers.

Common Causes of Amputation Injuries

The Amputee Coalition estimates that around 2.3 million Americans are living with an amputated limb, and there are many incidents that can cause amputation injuries. Some common causes of amputation injuries include the following.

Auto Accidents

Severe auto accidents can cause traumatic injuries, including the loss of limbs. Traffic accidents that happen at high speeds generate immense force from a collision, leading to crush injuries or other damage that makes amputation necessary. Serious traffic crashes that can cause limb loss include:

Medical Malpractice

Amputation may result from medical errors, such as a misdiagnosed infection or failure to treat a condition like compartment syndrome. These mistakes can lead to irreversible damage, leaving patients with life-altering consequences. Your attorney will help determine the circumstances leading to the injury to ascertain liability and hold the liable parties responsible for the injury.

Workplace Accidents

Industrial settings, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities are hotspots for severe injuries. Accidents involving defective forklifts or conveyor belts can cause traumatic amputations in an instant. In such areas, workers often face dangers from faulty equipment and other third-party negligence, which can lead to devastating injuries like limb loss.

Explosions and Fires

Explosions caused by defective products, chemicals, or electrical negligence can result in severe burns or other injuries that require amputation. Fires can also damage tissue beyond repair, leading to limb loss. The incidents cause significant physical impairments, which require heavy financial resources to address.

Crush Injuries

Crush injuries occur when someone's body part is compressed by heavy machinery, vehicles, or collapsing structures. These injuries often damage blood vessels and nerves, making amputation the only viable medical solution. If your Texas amputation/limb loss attorney determines that negligence was the reason for the crush injury, they can help build a personal injury claim to recover compensation.

What Damages Can I Recover From an Amputation Injury Lawsuit?

If your Texas amputation/limb loss attorney determines negligence caused your injury, we can build a strong personal injury claim to recover compensation based on Texas law. This compensation seeks to address damages we stipulate in your claim. The different types of damages recoverable from an amputation injury case include the following:

Economic Damages

These are damages to cover the tangible costs of your injury. Think of it as the money out of your pocket for the limb loss or amputation injury. These damages include:

Medical costs such as surgeries, hospital stays, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
Compensation for the lost earnings you’ve already lost due to the injury
Loss of earning capacity if the limb loss affects your ability to earn money in the future

Non-Economic Damages

These are the damages that are hard to measure in dollars but are just as significant as economic damages. They cover how your life has been affected in ways beyond money, including:

Physical pain and emotional toll of losing a limb
Loss of quality of life
Past and future physical disfigurement
Mental anguish, such as anxiety after the injury

Determining the true cost of an amputation injury goes beyond just adding up bills. At Fassold Trial Law, we work closely with medical experts, vocational specialists, and financial analysts to help us calculate the full impact of your injury. This includes understanding how the loss affects your career, personal life, and mental health. This ensures that we fight for the proper compensation that can rebuild your life.
