Amputation

If You Have Lost a Limb in an Accident, We Can Help.

Albany Personal Injury & Amputation Attorneys

The loss of a finger, hand, foot, or limb as a medical procedure is never easy, but often times warranted to improve an individual's health.

The loss of a limb as the result of a careless accident, however, is devastating. Because of another person or party's negligence, the life of the accident victim — now an amputee — is changed forever.

At Hacker & Murphy, LLP, we offer compassionate, aggressive representation to individuals who have suffered amputation injuries as the result of a careless accident. Call (866) 919-9031 or contact us online to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your options for compensation.

Seeking Maximum Compensation for Accident Victims

At Hacker & Murphy, LLP, we represent people who have suffered the loss of a limb in an accident caused by another person. An amputation can have a devastating financial impact on the amputee and his or her family. Accordingly, we seek compensation to cover a wide range of expenses:

• Medical expenses — Medical bills for the initial injury can be extremely high. However, the long-term care for amputees can also be high, depending on the nature of the injury. Long-term care can include rehabilitation and physical therapy.
• Prosthetic limbs — Some amputees are able to use artificial limbs. New prosthetic technology is always emerging. If you have lost a limb in a negligent accident, we will seek compensation to allow you to use the latest assistive products.
• Loss of livelihood — Many amputees are unable to continue their jobs after the injury. If your ability to work is affected, we will assess the long-term financial losses that result.

Many amputees experience phantom limb pain, or the feeling of pain, tingling, or other sensations in the amputated limb.

Types of Accidents

Some of the most common accidents causing an amputation injury are:

• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Truck accidents
• Construction accidents
• Accidents caused by defective products

Although your injury may seem overwhelming now, we are here to help you make the greatest recovery possible. We have seen numerous cases in which an amputee has been able to return to a normal, happy life following the accident. Our hope is that you, too, can live as full a life as possible.
