Costs from an Amputated or Lost Limb
When you become an amputee in the blink of an eye, it is important to know you are not alone.
According to the Amputee Coalition, nearly 2,000,000 people live with limb loss in the United States and 45 percent of those are trauma based.
As you may know, the costs of a prosthetic alone can be overwhelming, as it usually costs between $5,000 and $50,000 and must be replaced every three to five years because of wear and tear.
Furthermore, when you consider the need for top-notch doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and other medical professionals, the costs of being an amputee escalates tremendously. In an amputation injury case your pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life and emotional damages may be highly significant.
Settlement value of an Amputation case
Oftentimes, an injury to a foot or ankle can become infected, leading to the need to amputate. We recently settled a case for $3.3 million involving that very scenario.
In that case, our client was preparing a trash bin for collection when the driver of the truck backed into him and injured his lower leg. The crush injury led to an infection and a skin graft. After a hard-fought battle, just before trial the defendant settled even though our client had yet to have an amputation.
The medical costs of surgeries, prosthetic, and therapy can be extremely high and last a lifetime. Furthermore, when you consider the need for care, transportation, retraining, reeducating, and psychologists, the costs of being an amputee escalates tremendously.
