Amputation Accident Lawyer
Amputation injuries oftentimes occur in the work place and cause long-term or total disability. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that the number of wrongful amputations in medical settings is on the rise. Reorganization of the reporting process has increased the amounts of wrong site surgery and wrongful amputations reported. Recovering from an amputation injury can be a difficult and costly process, incurring lost work time, a decreased earning capacity, steep hospital bills, time and money spent at physical therapists as well as mental side effects including depression and phantom limb pain. All wrongful amputations are 100 percent preventable had the proper precautions been taken.
Whenever undergoing a surgical procedure:
-
Make sure that you, your doctor, and your surgeon all agree and are clear on exactly what will be done.
-
Large scale/permanently disabling wrongful amputations (for example, operating on the left knee instead of the right) is rare. But even once is too often. Make sure your doctor takes all the necessary precautions.
If you or a loved one suffers from an amputation injury or from an amputation side effect, including Phantom Limb Pain, stump (residual limb) pain or from phantom limb discomfort, you may be entitled to monetary compensation.
