Amputations can occur for number of reasons, including:

• Bicycle crashes
• Construction site accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Aviation accidents
• Workplace accidents and workplace violence
• Boating collisions
• Birth injuries
• Train crashes

No matter what has caused loss of limb in your case, if negligence or recklessness played a role in your injury you could be eligible for compensation that can help pay for lost wages, medical costs, and other expenses related to your injuries.

Amputation is an extremely traumatic injury that results in a lifetime of additional medical costs and medical care. In addition, intensive mental and physical therapy is often needed for months after the initial surgery to help the patient deal with the loss of a limb. Once this has been completed, a patient may need to be fitted with a prosthetic limb. Depending on the severity of the amputation, patients may need to make changes in their home or in their car for accessibility purposes.

Since the healing process takes so long and involves so many stages, you don’t want to go through the process alone. Working with a personal injury attorney in Coral Gables or your community ensures you won’t have to face the process by yourself.

A personal injury attorney can do many things for an amputee. They can:

• Review the specifics of the accident and investigate the causes of the accident
• Document the injuries and compile medical information
