Sacramento Amputation Injury Lawyer

Amputation Injury Attorney in Northern CaliforniaIt can be extremely difficult to overcome the psychological trauma resulting from a serious accident. But recovering from an injury that results in amputation is another matter altogether. Such injuries require months or years of physical therapy, countless medical procedures, and costly prosthetics. And the victim may suffer from chronic phantom pain and discomfort that never completely goes away.

Common Causes of Traumatic Amputation

These types of injuries are very common—much more so than most people realize. There are nearly 2 million people in the United States who have had to have a part of their body amputated. These injuries are life-changing, or even life-shattering events.

Long-Term Costs and Challenges of Limb Loss

Compensation for Partial Amputations and Loss of Digits

Most people think of amputees as being those who lose an arm or a leg in an accident, and suffer severe incapacitation. But even those who lose fingers or toes may have their ability to work seriously compromised. Professionals such as electricians, construction workers, musicians, mechanics, surgeons, dentists, artists, and carpenters may find their ability to work severely impacted by the seemingly minor amputation of one or more digits.

Proving Liability in Amputation Lawsuits

The success of an amputation accident claim relies largely on the ability to demonstrate the defendant’s responsibility for the injuries suffered by the plaintiff, and showing how severely the plaintiff’s life has been impacted by the injury.
