Amputation Lawsuit: Liability
Amputation cases can involve an accident, medical malpractice, a defective product, a dog attack or assault.
Fault is determined by the facts of each case. If someone is at fault for your amputation, you have a right to seek compensation from all liable parties.
Liable parties are people and companies that are responsible under the law for your amputation. Liable parties in an amputation case may include one or more of the following:
- The owner of a vehicle
- A trucking company
- An employer
- The owner of freight being hauled in a tractor trailer
- The driver of a vehicle
- A bar, restaurant or other party who sells alcoholic beverages
- The owner of the property on which you were hurt, e.g. the owner of a construction site or a farm
- A construction company
- A doctor, hospital or other medical professional
- The manufacturer of a defective product that caused your amputation
- The manufacturer of a drug responsible for your amputation, e.g. a medication that causes gangrene, which leads to amputation
- The owner of a dog
- The person who assaulted you and inflicted injuries that led to amputation
Generally, the insurers of the liable parties are contractually obligated to pay you the compensation agreed to in a settlement or awarded to you by a jury.
Amputation Lawsuit: Amputation Victim Compensation
After your amputation, you may be contacted by insurance companies seeking a quick settlement. They will never offer you the amount of compensation you deserve. Do not talk with insurance representatives of the potentally-liable parties. Anything you say could be used by the insurance company to pay you less than you should get.
You have lost a limb, and you deserve justice. You won't get your limb back, so the only way you will get the justice you deserve is to get the most money possible in an amputation lawsuit against all liable parties.
Compensation for amputation victims can include money for the following:
- Medical Expenses
- Lost Wages
- Lost Earning Capacity
- Disfigurement
- Pain and Suffering
- Emotional Distress
- Disability
- Embarrassment
- Loss of Quality of Life
- Other Damages
When our law firm represents amputation victims, we do our own investigation to gather evidence regarding fault, liability and damages (the amount you shoul be compensated).
If you have been in an accident that resulted in an amputation, you may contact our law firm for a free consultation by calling toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submitting the firm’s online-consultation form.
