Amputation Injury Lawyers
Losing a limb is a life-changing event that affects every aspect of a person’s life. From physical recovery and emotional trauma to financial challenges, amputation injuries require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term adjustments. If your amputation was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to significant compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
At Cantor Injury Law, we fight aggressively to ensure amputation victims receive the full compensation they deserve to rebuild their lives.
Types of Amputations
An amputation injury occurs when a limb or extremity is surgically removed or lost due to trauma. This can involve the partial or complete removal of arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, or toes. Amputations can be classified as:
- Traumatic Amputation – Occurs during an accident, such as a car crash or workplace incident, where the limb is severed.
- Surgical Amputation – Happens when a medical condition or severe injury requires the removal of a limb to prevent further harm.
Amputees often require lifelong medical care, including prosthetics, physical therapy, and assistive devices, making legal compensation essential for long-term recovery.
Common Causes of Amputations
Amputations often result from severe accidents or medical negligence, including:
- Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
- Workplace and Construction Accidents
- Defective Machinery and Power Tools
- Medical Malpractice and Surgical Errors
- Explosions, Burns, or Electrocutions
- Violent Assaults or Traumatic Injuries
If your injury was caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent actions, you may have a case for compensation.
St. Louis amputation Lawyers FAQS
Yes, workplace amputation injuries may be covered under workers’ compensation, but if negligence from a third party (such as defective machinery or unsafe working conditions) played a role, you may be entitled to additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations is five years, but it’s best to file as soon as possible to preserve evidence and build a strong case.
If a defective machine, unsafe product, or medical error led to your amputation, you may have a case against the manufacturer, doctor, or medical provider responsible. We will thoroughly investigate and pursue the maximum compensation.
Many cases are settled outside of court, but if the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.
