What Types Of Medical Treatment Do Amputees Require?

Medicare treatment for amputees can be complex and expensive. There are many stages involved in the treatment process, such as:

  • Surgery
  • Wound care following surgery
  • Home healthcare services
  • Pain management
  • Preparation for prosthetic
  • Psychological therapy and treatment

An amputee may need to see several specialists, including:

  • Occupational therapists
  • Physical therapists
  • Surgical teams
  • Prosthetist
  • Psychologist/psychiatrist

Your amputation injury lawyer will work closely with your treating physicians and other medical experts to understand the severity of your injury and the type of ongoing medical care you will require, in addition to learning how this type of injury will affect your ability to participate in daily living activities, hobbies, and work. You may experience body image issues or phantom pains, which although is normal, can cause extreme mental anguish. Having a team of medical professionals help you through each step of recovery is imperative. As is having the legal counsel to make sure these medical costs are covered by the fault party.

What is the Value Of My Case?

It can be difficult to determine the exact value of a personal injury claim, especially considering how complex an amputation injury case can be. While an amputation injury attorney cannot guarantee how much compensation you’ll recover for your financial damages, they will work tirelessly to build a strong case that will hold the responsible party accountable for the harm you have suffered.

At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team will pursue compensation for current and future economic and non-economic damages, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent injury
  • Loss of consortium
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of wages / loss of income
  • Past and future medical bills, including inpatient rehabilitation
  • Loss of function of your limb
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Emotional anguish / post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Property damage
  • And more.

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.
