Holding Negligent Parties Liable Across the State

An amputation injury is one of the most traumatic injuries to experience, both physically and emotionally. It can take years to recover from an amputation accident, and often victims are faced with a life-altering disability and the need for costly interventional therapies, devices, and/or personalized long-term care. In cases where clinical negligence or accidents cause infection to set in, organ failure, and/or substantial blood loss, amputation may also be fatal.

Your Right to File an Amputation Injury Lawsuit in Texas

Amputation injuries are life-changing catastrophes with significant emotional and physical trauma. Loss of limb due to third-party negligence is broadly recognized in Texas and in civil courts across the United States as worthy of damage claims for amputation injury.

The cost to care for a patient left disabled from limb loss is a significant burden no victim or family should have to bear. When injuries could have been prevented had proper safety protocol been followed, facilities and insurers should be held liable for all related expenses. Without a top-tier amputation lawyer at your side, you are at unnecessary risk of being taken advantage of, and receiving compromised compensation will limit your recovery potential and leave your loved ones in no position to deliver the best care you deserve.

Common Accident Causes for Amputation

Both traumatic (seriously damaging) and surgical amputations are not uncommon medical practices. While physicians work every day in military settings and VA hospitals, treating our servicemen and women on and off the battlefield or for combat-related injuries, traumatic injuries are not the only reason amputation may be necessary. Cases of medical negligence or misdiagnosis sometimes result in surgical amputation when alternative therapies, treatments, or surgeries might have sufficed. A corporate entity, such as a professional medical industry can be held liable for botched procedures, infected surgical sites, or any lack of care/breach of duty when patient safety is put at risk.

Amputation Aftermath Recovery and Costs of Treatment

Taking legal action for an amputation not only holds negligent liable for your physical, emotional, and financial pain, but it can also potentially provide some level of compensation for:

• Your pain and suffering
• The emotional distress
• A lost limb or limbs result
• Lost compensation
• Expenses due to new housing
• Modifications and home health needs
• Caregiving support
• Therapy
• Clinical assistance to name but a few particular challenges.

We aim to offer victims and families the resources and support you need to manage wherever you are in the recovery or catastrophic care processes.
