Compensation For Amputation Injuries

Losing a limb, foot, hand, finger or toe can be extremely traumatic. Adjusting to life without part of your body takes a lot of mental and physical discipline, but it can be done. Prostheses and rehabilitation cost money.Many times, the problem is that the loss of the body part leads to other difficulties, like a loss of income or a loss of the ability to enjoy certain activities. Under Georgia law, you can be compensated for those losses if someone other than the injury victim was negligent or irresponsible in a way that caused the injury itself.

Loss Of Limbs Occurs In A Variety Of Settings

Amputation can occur immediately in a violent accident, or it may occur later, when it becomes apparent the limb cannot be saved. Common causes include:

  • Workplace accidents
  • Motor vehicle crashes
  • Farm accidents
  • Recreational accidents

The fact of amputation does not by itself guarantee compensation. The injury must result from the negligence of another party — the other driver, the maker of the defective product, inadequate safety protections, the owner of the property on which the accident occurred. Lawyer Jim Neuberger can help you determine if negligence was a factor in your injury.
