Amputation cases are often complex and require a deep understanding of medical issues, Florida liability laws, and long-term care costs. Our legal team has the resources and trial experience to guide you through this difficult time with clarity and compassion.
Here’s how we help our clients throughout Florida:
We begin by investigating the circumstances of the accident or medical procedure that led to your limb loss. This includes gathering evidence, consulting with medical experts, reviewing accident reports, and preserving any defective equipment or evidence involved.
Multiple parties may be responsible for your injuries, ranging from negligent drivers to property owners, hospitals, or product manufacturers. We work to uncover every source of liability and hold them accountable under Florida law.
Insurance companies often attempt to downplay the severity of an amputation or argue that the victim shared fault. We handle all communications on your behalf and fight against any tactics that undervalue your claim.
Amputation injuries affect every aspect of a person’s life. We work with medical professionals, prosthetic specialists, life care planners, and vocational experts as well as the friends and family closest to you to paint a clear picture of your physical and emotional losses—now and into the future.
We are skilled negotiators and seasoned trial attorneys who never settle for less than what our clients deserve. We are prepared to take your case to court if a fair agreement cannot be reached.
From start to finish, our mission is to reduce your burden and aggressively advocate for the resources you need to move forward with dignity.
Although we’re based in Tampa, our reputation for succeeding in complex cases leads us to practice statewide, serving cities including:
Amputations can result from various traumatic incidents or negligent actions. Common causes include:
High-impact car, truck, or motorcycle accidents can lead to crushed limbs or severe injuries requiring surgical amputation. Drunk, distracted, or reckless drivers are often to blame.
Surgical errors, undiagnosed infections, or poor post-operative care can result in preventable amputations. Hospitals and healthcare providers can be held accountable when negligence leads to limb loss.
Slip and fall incidents, elevator malfunctions, or collapsing structures can cause traumatic injuries, leading to amputation. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe environments.
Poorly designed tools, industrial machines, or vehicles may pose serious safety risks. Under Florida product liability laws, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be liable.
