When an individual loses an arm or leg due to the negligence of another, it is a catastrophic event that can have profound physical, emotional, and financial consequences.
Those who suffer the loss of a limb or limbs must learn how to face a new way of life. Simple everyday activities may now require assistance or relearning activities we take for granted.
At Lenahan & Dempsey we have helped many clients who unfortunately lost a limb due to the negligence of another. These are often complicated cases involving investigation, gathering of evidence, and interviews with medical personnel and rehabilitation experts. We also call on our network of medical and other experts to get you the highest possible recovery you will need as you move forward with your life.
You Have Rights and Options
When you are suffering a Loss of a Limb due to negligence, you may have grounds for a lawsuit to recover damages. Some of the most common causes of limb loss include car accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, and premises liability incidents. In these cases, you may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Medical Malpractice and Amputations
In cases where limb loss is the result of medical malpractice, such as a surgeon’s error, delayed diagnosis of an infection, or improper treatment of a vascular condition, the injured individual may have a valid medical malpractice claim. Medical professionals have a duty to provide a certain standard of care to their patients, and when they fail to meet this standard, they can be held liable for the harm caused.
