Representing Individuals that Suffer Amputations in Motor Vehicle and Fall Accidents

Losing part of your body in an accident is one of the most traumatic things that can happen in your lifetime, and these kinds of injuries typically will have an impact on victims for the rest of their lives. In many cases, victims will need expensive prostheses or mobility aids in order to perform basic tasks and may suffer significant psychological or emotional distress for years or even decades.

Fortunately, if you suffered an accidental amputation in an accident caused by the negligence of someone else, you can likely recover significant compensation for your losses. To discuss your case with an attorney and learn whether you will be able to recover, call Bednarz Law today to schedule a consultation with a Nashville amputation lawyer.

How Amputations Occur

Amputations can happen in two ways – traumatic amputation, in which something forcefully severs a body part, or surgical amputation that might be necessary due to a severe injury. Crush injuries and burns might require surgical amputation.

Different parts of the body can be amputated, including:

Even losing one finger can alter your life and losing a full extremity or limb can be devastating.

The Effects of Amputation

First and foremost, amputations require immediate and ongoing medical treatment. Doctors can see if they can reattach the separated body part, and if not, they will start the treatment plan for amputations. This includes hospitalization, pain management, and infection prevention. Surgery might be necessary in many cases, as well.

Once you are medically cleared to go home, the journey is just beginning. Many people experience ongoing pain from the amputation site due to poor circulation. Occupational therapy is common to help you relearn tasks without the use of your amputated body part. You might decide to get a prosthetic, which can take time and training to learn how to use.

It is important that you speak with an experienced injury attorney regarding your rights to compensation from liable parties. You might be able to obtain financial recovery for the following and more:

An attorney can determine the value of your claim, which can be extensive in cases involving permanent injuries such as amputations.
