Amputation Injury Lawyers Serving Montgomery County and Greater Philadelphia
Recovery after losing a limb often involves surgery, rehab, and equipment that needs to be replaced as the years go on. An amputation injury lawyer can build the claim around those long-term needs while Norman Mittman Law pushes back when an insurer tries to pay less.
Amputation and Loss of Limb Cases We Handle
Some people lose a limb at the scene. Others lose one after surgery to treat a severe injury or infection. If someone else’s carelessness caused yours, we can hold them accountable.
Common causes include:
Car Accidents
A violent crash can crush or sever an arm or leg, or leave one too damaged to save.
Commercial Truck Crashes
The weight of a truck can trap and crush a driver or passenger. We go after the trucking company and its insurers.
Work-Related Injuries
Machinery, heavy equipment, and falls on a job site can lead to crush injuries and limb loss.
Medical Malpractice
Surgical errors, missed infections, and delayed treatment can lead to an amputation that was avoidable.
Defective Vehicles
Failed safety parts and weak vehicle structures can make crash injuries far worse.
Rideshare Accidents
Passengers and drivers can suffer limb-threatening injuries in a rideshare crash. We deal with the drivers and companies involved.
Dog Bites and Attacks
A severe attack can cause deep wounds, infection, and lasting damage to an arm or leg.
Nursing Home Negligence
Untreated wounds and infections can lead to amputation for an older loved one who was not cared for properly.
How Losing a Limb Can Affect Your Life
Every person’s recovery looks different. The costs and challenges often last for life. They may include:
- Surgeries and Hospital Care: Many people need more than one operation, plus a long hospital stay.
- Prosthetics and Equipment: Artificial limbs, wheelchairs, and other devices are costly and need to be replaced over time.
- Pain That Lingers: Some people feel pain or strange sensations where the limb used to be.
- Therapy and Rehab: Learning to move, balance, and work with a new body can take months or years.
- Lost Independence: Home changes and help with daily tasks may become part of life.
- Lost Ability to Work: Some people cannot return to their old job, or must start over in a new one.
If you or someone you love has been through any of this after a truck accident, car crash, a workplace accident, or a medical error, a claim may help cover medical care, rehab, lost income, and other costs.
How We Fight for You
In Pennsylvania, you generally must show that someone owed you a duty of care, failed to meet it, and that failure caused your injury and losses.
Here is how we work to do that:
Investigate Your Claim
We find out what caused the injury and who is responsible. We look at accident reports, equipment, and safety records.
Collect Evidence
We gather medical records, photos, and work history. We work with medical experts to show what your care and equipment will cost over time.
Negotiate with Insurers
Insurers may count one prosthetic and stop there. Limbs and devices wear out and need to be replaced. We push back and fight for what your claim is worth.
Provide Compassionate Guidance
We listen, return your calls, and explain each step in plain language. You and your family stay informed and prepared.
