Amputation Injury
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury that required amputation of a finger, arm, leg, or other body part, the attorneys of Wilshire Law Firm want to express our sincere wishes for your speedy and complete recovery. If that amputation injury was to any extent due to the negligence of others, or if an insurance company does not want to adequately compensate your expense and loss, the legal services of our personal injury attorneys can ensure those parties uphold their obligations to restore your financial circumstances and long-term health.
Amputation of an appendage is a serious injury, and one that can require months or years of rehabilitation and a lifetime of hardship and discomfort, if not pain. It is a permanent disability, and accident victims should consult with an amputation injury lawyer to fully understand their right to compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering.
In the Los Angeles area, the personal injury attorneys at Wilshire Law Firm have represented accident victims who have undergone an amputation and understand how difficult and frustrating the process to secure compensation can be. We represent your best interests directly to the negligent parties and their insurers so that you are able to dedicate yourself to recovery and rehabilitation from the injury
Negotiating an adequate settlement with an insurance company is complicated. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of insurance company policies and any limitations to their coverage of your injuries. With years of legal experience, our attorneys can apply every tactic and strategy available to ensure you will receive the highest settlement award possible.
According to the Encyclopedia of Surgery, more than 25,000 people in the US undergo an amputation every year due to a traumatic injury. Accidents are the primary cause of surgical amputations in people under the age of 50. If not treated properly, traumatic injuries can cause infection that spreads through the body. In that case, undergoing surgical amputation could save your life.
The most common causes of amputation injuries are:
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Airplane Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Auto Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Limousine Accidents
- Train and Accidents
- Tour Buses Accidents
