The loss of a limb is one of the most traumatic injuries a person can experience. Beyond the physical pain and medical challenges, amputations carry a deep emotional toll—and the road to recovery is long and complex. At Malloy Law Offices, our Potomac amputation lawyers stand with individuals and families facing the realities of limb loss due to someone else’s negligence. We fight for the compensation you need to rebuild, adapt, and move forward.
Amputation injuries don’t just disrupt your life temporarily—they often require a full reevaluation of how you live, work, and care for yourself. These cases demand experienced legal guidance because they often involve:
Extensive surgeries and hospital stays
Long-term prosthetic and rehabilitation needs
Psychological trauma, including depression or anxiety
Ongoing occupational and physical therapy
Significant lifestyle changes and home modifications
Our job is to make sure your legal claim accounts for the total impact—physical, emotional, and financial.
Amputations can result from a range of serious accidents, including:
Catastrophic car, truck, or motorcycle collisions
Crush injuries at construction or industrial job sites
Agricultural or heavy machinery accidents
Electrical burns or explosions
Unsafe premises or workplace equipment failures
Medical malpractice, including surgical errors or delayed treatment of infection
Dog attacks or traumatic incidents involving animals
No matter the cause, if someone else’s actions—or inaction—led to your injury, you may have a personal injury claim.
Limb loss varies in severity and location, but every case is serious. We represent clients who have suffered:
Upper limb amputations (fingers, hands, arms)
Lower limb amputations (toes, feet, legs)
Amputations due to infection following trauma
Multiple limb loss from high-speed or high-impact events
Surgical amputations following vascular or crush injuries
We work closely with medical professionals and prosthetics specialists to understand your current condition and future care needs.
Amputation claims typically involve significant damages because of the lifelong effects. If your injury was caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Emergency treatment and surgical intervention
Prosthetic limbs and ongoing maintenance
Inpatient rehabilitation and physical therapy
Mental health counseling and support
Home accessibility renovations or mobility aids
Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
Pain and suffering—physical, emotional, and psychological
Loss of independence or quality of life
Wrongful death benefits if the amputation was fatal in nature
We don’t take shortcuts when it comes to valuing your future. We build each case as if it’s going to trial—because you only get one shot at justice.
We take a detailed, investigative approach to identifying all responsible parties. Depending on how your injury occurred, we may pursue claims against:
Negligent motorists in traffic-related accidents
Employers or contractors in unsafe worksite conditions
Property owners who failed to remedy dangerous hazards
Manufacturers of defective products or machines
Medical providers in surgical or treatment-related amputations
Holding the right party accountable helps ensure you receive the full financial recovery the law allows.
Limb loss claims aren’t like standard injury cases—they require compassion, precision, and legal firepower. At Malloy Law Offices, we bring:
Extensive experience with catastrophic injury and disfigurement claims
Strong relationships with medical, prosthetic, and vocational experts
Familiarity with Montgomery County courts and insurance defense tactics
A hands-on, client-first approach—you’ll always know where your case stands
No fees unless we win—you don’t pay out-of-pocket
You’ve already lost enough. Let us help make sure you don’t lose the chance at full recovery, too.
