Upstate New York Amputation Injury Lawyers

Securing Fair Compensation for Loss of Limbs and Amputation Injuries

The loss of a limb — an arm, a leg, a foot — is, in some ways, uniquely different from other types of injuries.

Once the injury has occurred, there is limited need for ongoing medical care. The focus after an amputation injury, therefore, is on relearning life skills and vocational skills through physical and occupational therapy. Prosthetics allow the injured person to regain maximum functioning. As new prosthetic technologies come to market, a financial recovery should cover the purchase of new devices.

If you lost an arm or a leg in a motor vehicle accident or a workplace accident, or lost a foot in a motorcycle accident due to another's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Since 1987, the personal injury attorneys at Powers & Santola, LLP, have been protecting the rights of seriously injured people in upstate New York. We are selective in the cases we accept. This allows us to provide highly personalized service and quality legal representation to every client.

What is a Fair Financial Compensation for an Amputation Injury?

Thorough preparation of every case puts our attorneys in a solid position to advocate on behalf of our clients. We help our clients access medical experts and rehabilitation specialists to help them understand their short- and long-term rehabilitation needs. We work with life care planners and economists to understand the lifetime financial impact of the loss of a limb. We then prepare your case to ensure you receive full compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation with physical and occupational therapy
  • Prosthetics and retrofitting of equipment that you use at home or at work
  • Home remodeling to ensure accessibility
  • Specialized transportation, if needed
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Pain and suffering
