What is My Below-the-Knee Amputation Case Worth?
When our law firm represents a below-the-knee amputee, we look at several factors to determine how much the case is worth:
- Medical Expenses: We look at your past medical expenses, hospital, doctor, physical therapy, etc. We hire medical experts to estimate your future medical expenses, which are also recoverable. Recovery is different for every amputee.
- Lost Income: We look at how you made money before the amputation and how the amputation is going to affect your ability to continue to make money. Some of the factors 1) your job and income before the amputation, 2) how long you have been unable to work and how long before you are able to work again and 3) if you have to get a different job and how much that job pays. If you were a dancer, that will greatly increase the amount of money we would seek to recover for you.
- Pain and Suffering: Pain and suffering includes amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, permanent disability, disfigurement and loss of quality of life. We hire experts to build our case for past and future pain and suffering. These experts can testify as to phantom pain in addition to other pain issues.
