Amputation Accident Lawyer
There is nothing more exhilarating than taking to the open road on a motorcycle, moped, scooter, or bike. And all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are providing men and women of all ages hours of fun "four wheeling" in the woods or on the beach. No one can deny that riding these vehicles is a blast, but with that fun can come serious personal injury if things go awry.
If your ATV is defective or if your motorcycle collides with a truck or car, your joy can quickly turn to horror with a brain injury, spinal cord injury, burn or loss of a limb. Bike and motorcycle enthusiasts run the risk of being seriously injured when they are involved in a vehicle accident. Sadly, the loss of a limb is a common injury in bike and motorcycle accidents.
Losing a limb can be a very traumatic event. Your whole life changes forever. You will find yourself depending on others for assistance with day-to-day tasks, and you may not be able to perform the work you once did to earn a living. Becoming dependent and unable to work brings with it emotional problems, also. You may be angry, resentful, and depressed. An amputation is one of the most painful and psychologically damaging injuries one can experience. If you have lost a limb because of someone else's negligence or wrongdoing, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. An experienced Loss of Limb/Vehicle Accident attorney can advise you of your legal rights.
Recovering from an amputation involves a lifetime of new challenges including multiple surgeries and intensive physical therapy. It can months or years for the amputee to regain the confidence he once had. It will take dedication and hard work to re-learn the very tasks most of us take for granted: walking, dressing, working, etc.
Amputations also result in these expenses:
- Medical bills
- Physical rehabilitation
- Psychological treatment
- Loss of income
- Cost of prostheses
- Wheelchairs
- Aides
If you have lost a limb due to someone else's negligence in a bike accident or due to a defective bike product, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact an experienced bike accident attorney/defective product attorney in your area today.
