One of the most severe and life-changing injuries that can come of a premises liability accident is the loss of limbs, otherwise known as amputation. Amputations can be either intentional or unintentional. An unintentional amputation is the result of an injury or condition that is so severe that one has to undergo surgical amputation due to no other choice. Intentional amputation is when an accident causes the actual loss of limbs on the spot. In either case, this can have very serious effects which change your lifestyle and mental condition. If you suffered from an amputation injury in a premises liability accident, you can make a claim for your damages that your amputation has caused you.

An amputation injury can change the way that you live your life and it can alter your psychological wellbeing in the process. It is a new way of living that you have to get accustomed to. It likely affects your ability to carry out the tasks of the job that you had prior to the accident, which may result in lost wages. In your injury claim, you can recover these damages with proof of your medical bills or psychology/therapy bills that you had to pay to take care of this injury. Also, the more that this amputation has affected your life, the more money in damages that you will be able to recover. This can be demonstrated through medical records and your personal testimony. You can recover loss of income, loss of future income, loss of enjoyment of life, as well as the costs of prosthetic limbs, physical therapy and rehabilitation that was involved in your recovery from this injury. If the defendant’s negligence significantly affected your livelihood and/or your psychological well-being, you certainly deserve to be awarded for the costs that you took on to keep yourself as healthy as possible.
