You may experience body image issues or phantom pains, which although is normal, can cause extreme mental anguish.

- Pain and suffering
- Past and future medical bills, including inpatient rehabilitation

What if I Can’t Afford to Hire An Attorney?
At the Hines Law Firm, our amputation injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you will not have to pay any upfront costs or attorney fees. And, you won’t owe your attorney anything if your case is not successful. If you do win your case, your lawyer will subtract a small percentage of your settlement or award to cover the cost of legal services.
We also offer free legal consultations.
At a consultation, an accident victim can meet with an attorney to discuss their case and explore their legal options. If the amputation victim decides to work with us, our legal team of dedicated attorneys will conduct an investigation right away and begin the process of building a strong case that will hold the negligent party responsible for all accident-related costs.
