Amputation Injury Lawyer in Austin, TXDedicated. Experienced. Compassionate.

The loss of a limb is a catastrophic injury. The impact is all encompassing, and the victim’s life will never be the same. Many individuals will need medical care for the remainder of their lives. The tangible and intangible costs of amputation injuries are significant.

While some accidents are unavoidable, others are the result of negligence by an individual or entity. If this was the case with your accident, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit in pursuit of damages. In instances like this, the guidance and counsel of an experienced amputation lawyer is crucial. Your case must be filed correctly and in accordance with the statute of limitations; it also must accurately account for your total losses. This process is both complex and technical, so managing it on your own is not advisable.

We know what to do and how to do it. Reach out to us today at (512) 732-2727 to see how we would approach your specific situation. There is no charge for this meeting.

Our Service Is Broad-Based and Comprehensive

Handling Your Case from Beginning to End.

Recovering from an amputation injury requires 100% of your time and effort. You simply do not have the bandwidth to add managing a personal injury lawsuit. Even thinking about a lawsuit can seem like too much to handle.

Our firm recognizes this, so one of our goals is to minimize the stress associated with the legal process. As such, we assume responsibility for everything.

The first step in the process is gaining an understanding of the accident, your injuries, and their impact on your life. We do this by actively listening to your memory of what happened. Your perspective is so valuable as we move forward. The information we receive from you is supplemented by our own hands-on investigation. We review all relevant data, including:

• Accident reports
• Videos and photos
• Medical information
• Witness statements (we will personally interview all witnesses).

The insight we gain from this can help us determine who was at fault. Proving negligence is crucial to obtaining compensation.

The volume of paperwork and correspondence in amputation lawsuits is considerable. We will handle all of it. Feel free to forward any mail or phone messages directly to our office. We understand the statute of limitations and ensure we will meet all legal deadlines.

Because we comprehend the economic and non-economic costs associated with amputation accidents, we take time to identify all of yours.  The impact of these injuries is severe and life-long; accounting for future costs is one of the most important parts of the service we provide.  If necessary, we will engage expert witnesses who can substantiate our findings.

Our amputation injury lawyers are skilled negotiators and aggressive litigators. Do not speak with anyone, especially insurance agents, regarding your injuries or settlement.  Allow us to work for you.

We strive to settle your case out of court, during negotiations; however there are times when this is not successful. We never accept or refuse a settlement offer without speaking with you first. While something beyond your control may have caused your injuries, you are in full control when deciding how to proceed. This is your life — we are simply assisting you with a means to an end.
