An amputation doesn’t just change your body—it changes your entire life. From relearning how to move to coping with lasting emotional and financial burdens, the impact of losing a limb is both immediate and long-term. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation that reflects the full scope of your loss. At Malloy Law Offices, our Lake Barcroft traumatic amputation lawyer is here to help you pursue justice and rebuild your future with dignity and support.
A traumatic amputation occurs when a limb or extremity is severed at the scene of an accident or must be surgically removed due to catastrophic injury. These cases are distinct from amputations caused by disease, and are often the result of violent, preventable incidents. We represent clients who have lost:
Arms or hands
Legs or feet
Fingers or toes
Multiple limbs due to severe crush or burn injuries
These injuries aren’t just physically devastating—they can also trigger lasting psychological trauma and serious financial instability.
Traumatic amputations can occur in any number of accident scenarios, many of which involve negligence. Our Lake Barcroft clients have lost limbs due to:
High-impact car, motorcycle, or truck collisions
Workplace accidents involving machinery or equipment
Construction site injuries involving falls, crush hazards, or power tools
Industrial accidents with conveyor belts, forklifts, or saws
Electrocution or explosion injuries
Medical malpractice that led to avoidable tissue death or infection
Pedestrian or cyclist accidents involving commercial vehicles
If your injury could have been prevented through proper care or safety, we’ll work to hold the responsible parties legally accountable.
Amputation isn’t just a one-time event—it’s an ongoing, life-changing condition that impacts every aspect of your daily routine. Victims frequently deal with:
Extended hospital stays and multiple surgeries
Prosthetic fittings and replacements over a lifetime
Chronic pain, including phantom limb pain
Depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Loss of independence in mobility or daily living
Barriers to returning to work or earning a living
Social isolation and self-esteem issues
We work with medical professionals, prosthetics experts, and life care planners to make sure every piece of this reality is reflected in your claim.
Our legal team investigates every possible cause and contributor to your injury. Liable parties may include:
A negligent driver who caused a high-speed or rollover crash
A property owner or manager who failed to eliminate known hazards
An employer or contractor who failed to follow safety protocols
A manufacturer of defective equipment, vehicles, or safety gear
A medical provider who misdiagnosed or failed to treat an infection or injury properly
We don’t just look for the obvious sources of liability—we explore every angle to help you maximize your recovery.
When your life has been permanently altered by a preventable accident, your compensation should reflect more than just hospital bills. Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to:
Emergency treatment and surgical care
Long-term medical support and prosthetic costs
Rehabilitation and occupational therapy
Home or vehicle modifications
Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
Mental health treatment for trauma and depression
Pain and suffering—physical and emotional
Loss of enjoyment of life
Wrongful death benefits (if a family member passed from complications)
We build your case around the future—not just the moment the injury occurred.
