San Jose Amputation Injury Attorney

Any serious accident has a traumatic impact on the individual involved. An accidental amputation is truly devastating to the individual. An amputation may be a clean severing (complete amputation) of a body part or a limb may still be partially attached (partial amputation). Accidental amputation can result from premises liability, product defect, car crash, dog bite and others. A San Jose injury attorney can play a vital role in the future wellbeing of a victim of an amputation injury accident.      

Amputation Injury Lawyer in San Jose, California

There are approximately two million people in America today living life as an amputee. The medical needs of an individual with a partial or complete amputation are very high. The surgery required to attempt to reattach a limb or to repair the injury so it can heal is always expensive and an immense financial burden on the injury victim. Additionally, extensive rehabilitation therapy may be needed for years to come. 

If reattachment was not possible an expensive prosthetic appliance could be necessary. Not only is the initial fitting and procurement of the prosthesis costly, but the appliance itself will need to be replaced periodically throughout a lifetime. Where an individual cannot return to the same type of work, vocational therapy will be needed. The cumulative financial cost can be overwhelming. An experienced amputation injury lawyer, being familiar with all of these factors, will thoroughly investigate in order to identify any and all negligent entities which contributed to this injury so that they may be held financially accountable for the damages caused.

In the case of a work injury involving a machine which caused an amputation, investigation may produce evidence that the machine lacked sufficient safeguards making this a product defect accident. Under these circumstances the manufacturer could be held liable for the accident and have to compensate the injured person for all medical costs past and future, as well as any prosthetic, mechanical or other aids the client might need.  Meet with an aggressive personal injury lawyer at The Dunnion Law Firm to discuss the circumstances of your accident and find out if you may be owed compensation.
