AmputationAmputation
Few injuries can be more traumatic than the loss of an arm or leg or any body part. If you have suffered an amputation injury as the result of a motor vehicle collision or an accident on the job, contact an experienced lawyer at the Davila Law Firm in Houston. We offer free consultations about your legal options to recover lost income, medical expenses, and other damages.
If your accident occurred at work, you may be eligible to collect lifelong benefits under workers’ comp for your injury, provided that your loss of a leg, hand, or eyesight not only prevents you from returning to your prior occupation, but also prevents you from working at any other job that is avail-able in substantial numbers throughout the national economy. An important exception to this general rule may arise on the grounds of “willful misconduct” such as drunkenness, fighting, or other improper behavior at work.
No matter how your amputation injury occurred, the accident compensation attorneys at Davila Law Firm will use their understanding of the workers’ comp system’s personal injury law to work toward maximizing your financial recovery from any and all available sources.
