What Should My Settlement Cover?
The price of prosthetic devices can well exceed $100,000. This might be the amount an insurer offers you, and it seems fair at first glance. But even the most expensive prosthetic limbs are built only to withstand about three years of active wear, meaning that they will need to be replaced many times over the course of a lifetime. Each prosthetic must be custom fit to you, and after a successful surgery, you will need physical therapy and other support while you recover.
Aside from these costs, the victims of catastrophic accidents typically lose income in the time they are out for recovery. After an amputation, many also see their future earning potential reduced. This does not even cover the pain and suffering someone in this situation faces. We hire medical professionals and forensic economists to testify about these losses at trial. The needs arising from the loss of a limb go far beyond the cost of a prosthetic. Our team can help you understand the worth of your claim, which will likely be much more than the insurance company is offering.

Causes of Severed Limbs
Injuries that result in or require amputations can happen in many ways:
- Car accidents may result in severe damage that cannot be repaired even by the best specialists in the medical field.
- In crane accidents, the crane may topple over causing the operator to lose a limb. The manufacturer may be liable for selling defective machinery or for failure to warn about the risks of handling the machine.
- In drill press or lathe accidents, fingers may get caught due to missing safety guards. This may be a design flaw or a choice made by the equipment owner/maintainers for which the client may seek full damages.
- Conveyer belt accidents, where a finger or arm gets severed, may be caused by an inaccessible or faulty shut off switch. This could be the fault of the manufacturer or the employer.
- Bad burns and explosions can result in injuries that require amputation. Furnaces, boilers, and other such appliances may cause these accidents due to faulty installation or poor maintenance.
Whether your accident matches one of the scenarios above or has another cause, our attorneys may be able to help. You deserve the best care possible after surviving such a traumatic event, and the party who caused it must be held accountable.
