Bakersfield Amputation Lawyers
When an injury results in amputation, the results are life-altering. How you conduct your entire daily life and your relationships can transform in an instant. Many amputees must also deal with physical pain, emotional damage, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and even phantom limb pain.Â
Amputation is a life-changing injury. If you have had an amputation as the result of someone else’s negligence, an experienced Bakersfield amputation lawyer at Chain | Cohn | Clark is here for you throughout your process to attain justice.
Reasons to File an Amputation Lawsuit
If your amputation was the result of a condition caused or worsened by negligence, you may file an amputation lawsuit. While some amputation lawsuits are the result of medical negligence, not all of them are. For example, you may have been involved in an industrial accident with a metal blade that caused dismemberment of a limb. Auto accidents caused by others may also result in dismemberment.
Our amputation lawyers have experience in cases where severe trauma, dismemberment, medical neglect, and/or poor post-operative care led to amputation.
The Cost of an Amputation Injury
The true cost of an amputation includes much more than just medical costs. Making your home more accessible also needs to be accounted for. You may not be able to perform the job duties you once did. As your world transforms because of the injury, the costs are likely to be both economic (easily quantifiable) and non-economic (harder to quantify). Our legal team has the experience to determine past, present, and future damages to ensure that the compensation you are awarded will cover your total losses.
Causes of Loss-of-Limb Injuries
Many kinds of accidents can lead to the loss of a limb. When any of these events are caused by another party’s negligence, you might have legal standing to sue for damages:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Semi-truck crashes
- Workplace accidents, such as in factories and construction zones
- Farming/agricultural accidents
- Accidents involving power tools
- Lawnmower accidents
- Train accidents
- Falls from heights
- Pedestrian accidents
- Negligent security/assault
Long-Term Effects of an Amputation Injury
Amputations may result in permanent, lifelong repercussions. Traumatic amputation may require:
- Prosthetics
- Movement restriction
- Physical rehabilitation
- Therapy for emotional distress and suffering
- Loss of income
