Amputations

If you lose a limb due to an accident or someone else’s negligence, you may have a compensation claim. Our amputation injury lawyer can explain the facts as they relate to your case. However, here is an overview of this area of law and what damages you might claim.

Types of Amputation Injuries

Amputations can be traumatic (such as during a catastrophic accident) or surgical. So, an amputation injury may occur instantly, or you might have a limb that requires amputation at a later time.

Most traumatic amputations occur while operating machinery. Usually the cause is a negligent operator, negligent fellow employee, third party, or defective machinery.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

If the traumatic amputation occurs on the job, you should immediately file a Workers’ Compensation claim for losses such as:

• medical costs e.g. emergency room care
• pain and suffering
• rehabilitation costs e.g. physical therapy
• wage loss

You should also call an amputation lawyer immediately to discuss who else you might be able to sue for your injuries.

This is an area of the law that is very complex and requires a careful analysis of the facts by an experienced attorney. Our experienced Houston amputation lawyer is waiting to help you – call us today to learn more.

Catastrophic Injuries and Wrongful Death

Under Texas law, employees generally cannot sue their employers for injuries that occur during the course and scope of their employment if the employer is a subscriber to Workers’ Compensation insurance.

However, the employee’s loved ones can sue the employer for gross negligence if the injury results in death. To learn how to make an estate claim for wrongful death, schedule a free initial consultation with our amputation lawyer.

Making a Personal Injury Claim

The Texas Workers’ Comp bar does not prevent an injured employee from suing third parties that are responsible for their injuries. Third parties you might be able to sue include, for example, manufacturers of defective products.

Suing third parties can be a complex issue. It’s important that we sue everyone who could be responsible for your injury. Contact us today to speak with someone from our Houston amputation law firm.

Self-employed individuals have the right to sue for amputation injuries.

If you’re self-employed and you’re injured on the job, call our Texas amputation lawyer. You may be able to claim for damages – we’ll explain what’s required to prove your case.

Amputations Outside the Workplace

Did your injury occur outside of the workplace, such as during a car accident? You can still file an amputation lawsuit. Our Houston amputation injury attorney can explain how the process works and what your claim is worth based on the facts.
