Helping Amputation Victims Recover and Move Forward

Suffering an amputation injury will cause significant, long-term consequences for the injury victim and his or her family. Some people will be unable to return to their previous jobs or complete daily tasks. Some will experience considerable physical pain and psychological trauma. Some victims suffer from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which can create the sensation of pain at the location of a missing limb.

The attorneys at Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool, L.L.P., provide compassionate representation for individuals who have lost limbs due to accidents or medical malpractice. We seek compensation to cover the costs of physical, emotional and occupational problems. For a free consultation with a New York amputation attorney, please call 877-394-1329 or contact us online.

We Fight for the Compensation You Need

While some amputations are the result of an illness or medical malpractice, many are caused by traumatic accidents such as car accidents, workplace accidents, construction accidents and falls. No matter the cause, you will need an attorney to pursue your claim and collect damages from the negligent party. We represent individuals who have suffered all types of amputations, including:

Amputations of the arm or hand:

Amputation of the fingers or thumb
Metacarpal amputation and wrist disarticulation — loss of the hand
Transradial amputation — loss of the forearm
Elbow disarticulation — loss of the elbow and forearm
Transhumeral amputation — loss of the arm above the elbow and below the shoulder
Shoulder disarticulation — loss of the arm and shoulder
Forequarter amputation — loss of the arm, shoulder blade and collarbone

Amputations of the leg or foot:

Foot amputation
Syme amputation and ankle disarticulation — loss of the ankle and foot
Transtibial amputation — loss of the leg below the knee
Knee-bearing amputation — loss of the lower leg and knee
Transfemoral amputation — loss of the leg above knee
Hip disarticulation — loss of the entire leg

Consequences of Amputations

Amputation victims may be faced with a lifetime of pain and long-term medical treatment. Typical effects of amputations include phantom pain, wound pain, depression, shortening of the muscles, tissue necrosis or skin death, failure to heal and prosthetic complications. In addition, traumatic amputation victims may suffer serious secondary complications such as bleeding, shock, infection or wrongful death.

After the amputation surgery, patients require long-term rehabilitation, which may include strengthening the remaining muscles and relearning skills such as grasping objects or walking.

The expenses associated with medical care and prostheses after an amputation are considerable. You may also need compensation to cover the cost of modifying your home and vehicles. We will fight for the maximum damages you are entitled to receive.
