Losing a limb is one of the most serious and life changing injuries anyone can suffer, and impacts every facet of someone’s life – from the ability to work to carrying out daily life activities.  What rights do individuals who have suffered an amputation as a result of negligent or wrongful conduct have?  The dismemberment injury attorneys at Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP can answer these questions and assist you in bringing a claim against the person or business that caused your amputation.

Amputation can be caused by a variety of incidents ranging from a car accident to the use of a dangerous product to a workplace accident. No matter what the cause, the impact is severe. An individual may need hospitalization and life-long medical care, including expensive prostheses, physical therapy, job training or retraining, ongoing transportation, and modifications to the home. In addition, an amputation can have severe emotionally traumatic effects that necessitate counseling or psychiatric treatment. All too often, the party responsible for the amputation attempts to diminish the value of victim’s claim, by disregarding the long-term financial, physical, and emotional effects of the amputation.

For the dismemberment injury lawyers at Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP, a nominal settlement is never enough. The law provides dismemberment injury victims the right to take legal action against the person whose negligence caused their injury, helping provide the care they need to continue life. Making a claim doesn’t just help you – it can protect others from future negligence and injury and bring vital attention to the devastating impact an amputation can have.

We help our clients file lawsuits, investigate and gather evidence, and then aggressively litigate those cases to settlement or verdict. And we have a track record of overwhelming success. For example, in September 2013, we obtained a $17,120,662 jury verdict for an 85-year-old man who was hit by a Southland Transit Inc. bus while he was lawfully walking in a crosswalk resulting in his right leg being amputated. In December 2015, we obtained a $9,900,000 jury verdict for a man who suffered a below the knee amputation after he was struck by a vehicle driven by a State of California employee. In March 2008, we obtained a $9,000,0000 settlement for a teenage girl lost both legs due to a defective guard rail. We know the confusion and pain of an amputation, and we can help. Your time to file your cases could be limited, so prompt action is necessary.
