The loss of a hand, foot, arm, leg, or other body part is a catastrophic event. This loss can result from many causes, such as a workplace accident, a farm accident, a motorcycle accident, or a medical condition.
How Jacobs & Jacobs Handles Loss of Limb Cases
When you suffer the loss of a limb there are many consequences such as:
Surgery and recuperation
Risk of infection
“Phantom” pains that seem to reside where the missing body part should be
Nerve damage
Chronic pain
Need for physical therapy and occupational therapy
Need for prosthetic limbs
We have a special interest in the needs of amputation injury victims. One of our own lawyers, Kevin Ryder (now retired), first came to us as a client after a catastrophic work-related accident that resulted in amputations. He came to fully appreciate what an attorney could do for an accident victim. Kevin later went on to get a law degree and joined Jacobs & Jacobs in our fight to obtain compensation for people who have suffered the loss of a limb and other serious injuries.
Kevin’s personal experience adds value and insight to our law firm’s years of experience representing amputation and spinal injury victims in New Haven. We know the importance of considering the costs of anticipated new models of prosthetic devices that engineers are currently working to perfect. We work to include such costs in well-documented compensation proposals that we bring before insurance claims adjusters, judges, and juries.
If you or a loved one has suffered the loss of a limb, please call Jacobs & Jacobs at (203) 777-2300. Our medical malpractice lawyer in Milford fights for the results you deserve.
