In a fair settlement or verdict, a plaintiff in an amputation lawsuit will have more than their past medical treatment and lost wages covered. They deserve to also have the costs of ongoing care and therapy, prosthetics, medications, assistive devices, and other future needs paid for, and to also be compensated for loss of earning capacity. With the right lawyer, a plaintiff can also recover damages for mental and emotional trauma as well. When it comes to traumatic, life-changing accidents that force someone to lose a limb or get an amputation, these victims deserve to have every resource at their disposable to rebuild their futures and live full lives.
