Causes of Accidental Amputations

An amputation occurs when a limb is cut off from the body. It is an extremely severe injury, and in most cases, the patient will have to live without an arm or a leg perpetually. While prosthetic limbs are available for many victims, they are often very expensive. Our firm believes in holding negligent or reckless individuals accountable for causing a catastrophic injury. We will help you pursue justice for from those responsible.

Accidental amputations may be caused by:

An amputation can be either partial or total. Victims may suffer extreme phantom limb pain, and have to undergo extensive therapy to adjust to a new way of life. Everyday tasks, such as eating, getting dressed, and going to the bathroom, may become incredibly difficult. Victims may also be unable to drive or walk without assistance.

Pursuing Justice for Amputation Injuries

If your amputation was caused by the negligence or recklessness of someone else, you have the right to seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Drivers, doctors, and product manufacturers must be held responsible in court for causing your loss of limb. Depending on the situation, you may be able to receive a settlement for various expenses.

These include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning potential
  • Disability
  • Physical therapy
  • Prosthetic limbs
  • Rehabilitation
  • Emotional distress

Medical malpractice claims may result if a doctor fails to identify and treat gangrene or other conditions that could lead to the loss of a limb. Doctors owe a duty of care to patients. This involves providing safe and effective treatment to protect your health and well-being. If your physician operated on the wrong limb, performed an amputation that was unnecessary, or failed to prevent the loss of a limb, you can file a claim to hold him or her responsible.

Furthermore, product manufacturers may be held liable for amputation injuries resulting from dangerously designed or defective products. Machinery and certain tools must have proper safety warnings and features to prevent an injury. If a manufacturer fails to add safety devices to a dangerous product, and you suffer the loss of a digit or limb as a result, you may be able to pursue compensation in a defective product claim.

“They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

“Paul Matiasic represented me in an accident case where I almost got ripped off by the insurance company. The case took a little longer, but Paul and his team (Justin White) never gave up on me. They called/email every week to make sure I was feeling okay and gave me the status of the case. I felt at ease dealing with them. They are very human and care about their clients more than the money. They are the type of lawyers you want to have on your side, the type you can trust!”

Paul Matiasic is a superb personal injury attorney!

“Paul handled a case for me about eighteen months ago. It took a year to bring the recalcitrant insurance company to the table. Once there Paul was inspiring beyond his years. Strongest negotiator I have ever seen. A real treat to watch him in action. I found Paul to be prompt at returning phone calls, honest, fair and of the highest character. I would recommend him with no reservations.”

We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture.

“If it were not for Paul stepping to help with our case, we feel that it would not have been resolved as quickly and as efficiently as it was handled. We can only say that God was on our side when Paul came into the picture. Thank you, Paul!”

You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!

“If you find yourself in need of an excellent attorney, I highly recommend The Matiasic Firm. This was a first for me and I will always remember the experience of working with Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson in pursuing our wrongful death claim. I was turned down several times and then was referred to this firm. After presenting Paul and Scott with the facts as I saw them, they took on my case. The two attorneys as well as their staff was professional and tentative it felt as if I was their only client. We started the case in 2015 and I was advised from day one how difficult it would be but I was kept informed along the way. Any time I had a question or needed clarification Paul or Scott was there. In 2017, a settlement was reached. I just can't say enough of how pleased I was to have been their client. I will recommend Paul Matiasic and Scott Johnson to anyone in need of legal service. You can be assured The Matiasic Firm will work as hard for you, too!”

“Paul Matiasic was amazing and got me a settlement that satisfied me!”

“I found Mr. Matiasic online and he was the only one of three other lawyers who responded wanting more info. The others did not want to persue the case, thinking it hard to prove. Mr. Matiasic was the only one who asked to meet with me personally to discuss the case and it was only with Mr. Matiasic asking questions and explaining to me the what we needed to prove, that I was able to give him the solid information (photos) that resulted in a successful settlement. He worked with and for me from the initial contact in May 2007 until the settlement in Dec 2007, keeping me appraised at every step of the negotiations. I was more than pleased with the result.”
