Fracture, Amputation, and Paralysis injuries, often caused by automobile, motorcycle, and slip and fall accidents, are among the most serious and catastrophic forms of injury. Fracture, Loss, or paralysis of part or all of a limb or of multiple limbs can often leave an injured person unable to work or function as he or she once did.
The loss of the ability to work presents special considerations and requires skillful handling by attorneys experienced in representing those with fracture, amputation, or paralysis injuries. Very often the injury requires surgery or a prosthetic replacement limb which must be replaced periodically over the injured person's lifetime. Multiple surgeries or prosthetic limbs may be necessary to accommodate different uses. Surgeries or prosthetics impose a significant expense that should be properly documented, presented, and claimed.
People with fracture, amputation, or paralysis injuries also face the risk of many associated medical problems, including severe arthritis, neuromas, phantom limb pain, gait change, and extensive rehabilitation and therapy to adjust to life without a limb or with damaged limbs. These issues must be addressed if any resolution of an injured person's claims is to provide full and fair compensation. John Christopher Maples has significant experience in this area of the law and can help you with your claim.
