Amputation, or the loss of a body part, is a frightening and excruciatingly painful event. There are times when the removal of a body part or limb such as an arm or leg is the only option to save a person’s life after a serious accident. Amputation can lead to severe complications and, in some cases, even death.

There are approximately 185,000 amputations performed every year in the United States. The stress that is put on an amputation accident victim and his or her family can quickly become overwhelming. Medical bills pile up and the time and money spent on rehabilitation will eat away at time once spent working.

In Minnesota, the most common types of amputation and dismemberment injuries involve:

loss of an arm, hand, leg or foot in a car accident;
loss of a limb from a construction site accident;
loss of a limb resulting from negligence of another;
hospital malpractice or malpractice by a surgeon;
loss of a limb resulting from a bicycle accident; and
loss of a limb from faulty machines or equipment.

We recognize the tremendous costs and emotional impact of amputation and will thoroughly analyze all actions and parties involved in your case. We will do everything legally possible to investigate your personal injury case so that you can receive the maximum compensation that you deserve.

Amputation Victims Deserve Compensation

Any type of serious accident can be a devastating experience, but when an amputation is required as a result of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to submit a claim to recover much needed compensation for the traumatic injuries sustained.

The legislation is designed ensure that group health plans treat coverage of such prosthetics for amputees on par with other essential medical care covered by health insurance.

"We understand that insurance companies are in the business of making money. Unfortunately, this is why it is so important to have proper counsel."
