Amputations or Lost Limbs Claims Lawyer

Losing any part of your body in an amputation accident can be traumatic and life-changing. When the accident is caused by a defective or dangerous product, it can be even more devastating. Manufacturers and retailers have a responsibility to ensure that products are safe to use and do not pose any unexpected risks. If you have lost a limb or appendage due to an unsafe or defective product, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your injury. Contact the amputations or lost limbs claims lawyers at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law in Tampa, Orlando, Ocala, Lakeland or Key West. We can review your case and advise you on your claim.

When a limb or appendage is damaged beyond repair or severed in an accident, everything changes for the victim. Even the loss of a finger can require physical therapy and relearning how to do certain tasks without the lost digit. Larger appendage amputations like an arm, hand or leg caused by an accident can come at a large cost to the victim. On top of medical and therapy bills, there may be lost income, reduced function and ongoing pain or discomfort. If a defective product caused the amputation, these costs may be covered by the manufacturer or seller of the product.

Defective Product Accidents that Cause Limb Damage

Accidents resulting in crushed limbs or amputations are tragically common, with vehicle wrecks standing out as one of the primary causes. In the chaotic aftermath of a collision, individuals may find themselves ejected from vehicles due to seatbelt failures or malfunctioning door latches, leading to severe limb injuries or even amputations. Motorcycles, too, pose significant risks, as accidents involving them often result in severed or mangled limbs, especially when defective components contribute to the crash.

Moreover, defective products can also play a pivotal role in amputation accidents, extending beyond the realm of vehicular incidents. These may include:

  • Electrocution or electrical burns resulting from faulty wiring, malfunctioning appliances or poorly designed electrical products.
  • Agricultural equipment accidents, where machinery defects or inadequate safety features can lead to traumatic limb injuries or amputations in farm settings.
  • Mishaps involving fireworks or explosives, wherein defective products or improper handling can cause devastating injuries, including loss of limbs.
  • Household tools, such as power saws or lawnmowers, may pose serious risks if they contain design flaws, lack adequate safety guards or are improperly maintained.

In the wake of an amputation accident caused by a defective product, families may be left grappling with profound physical, emotional and financial burdens. However, it’s crucial to recognize that legal recourse exists for those affected. By pursuing legal action, individuals may seek financial damages to alleviate the financial strain associated with medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and ongoing care needs. Holding accountable the parties responsible for manufacturing, distributing or selling defective products not only serves to secure compensation for victims but also plays a pivotal role in promoting consumer safety and preventing similar tragedies in the future.

If a defective product was the catalyst that caused an amputation accident in your family, you may have the right to sue for financial damages. Contact our team at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law to schedule a free consultation to discuss your claim.
