Amputation Malpractice

Below are examples of amputaion malpractice:

  • Surgeon and hospital malpractice when a leg has to be amputated because a surgical sponge was left in a leg
  • Hospital malpractice when post-operative blood clots are not treated, and one or both legs have to be amputated
  • Surgeon and hospital malpractice when the wrong arm is surgically removed
  • Doctor malpractice when a misdiagnosed knee infection spreads and becomes life-threatening, requiring the leg to be amputated
  • Hospital or pharmacy malpractice when a wrongly-administered medication (wrong dose, wrong medication, wrong method of administration, negligent administration) causes serious injury, resulting in an amputation

If a medical error has resulted in the amputation of an arm, hand, finger, leg, foot or toe, you may have grounds for an amputation malpractice lawsuit. Our lawyers have recovered millions for amputation victims. For a free case review, please contact Pritzker Olsen Attorneys.

How Much is My Amputation Malpractice Case Worth?

Amputation compensation can include amounts for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering and lost suffering. Amputation pain and suffering can include physical pain, emotional distress, disability, disfigurement and loss of quality of life.

The amount of compensation in an amputation malpractice case depends on the facts of the case, including the age, occupation and lifestyle of the amputation victim. An amputation lawyer at Pritzker Olsen can discuss an amputation lawsuit with you in more detail.
