Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Leg Amputation Lawsuit

What is My Leg Amputation Case Worth?

Our attorneys look at several factors to determine how much a leg amputation case is worth:

Medical Expenses: We look at your hospital bills, cost of a prosthetic leg, physical therapy, etc. We hire medical experts to estimate your future medical expenses, which are also recoverable. Recovery is different for every amputee.
Lost Wages: We look at how much money you made in the months prior to your accident and how the amputation is going to affect your ability to continue to make money. Some of the factors we look at are 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.
Pain and Suffering: Pain and suffering includes amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, permanent disability, disfigurement and loss of quality of life.

In the video below, attorney Fred Pritzker remembers a leg amputation lawsuit involving a man injured in a motorcycle accident. After the accident, the man went through months of surgeries and cleaning out the wound using an external fixator, but in the end, the leg had to be amputated.
