Losing a body part because of an accident or medical condition is life-changing. Until someone experiences amputation firsthand, imagining life without a finger, foot, or arm is nearly impossible. If someone else is responsible for that loss, coming to terms with the new reality can be physically and psychologically traumatic.

At DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo in San Bernardino, our lawyers have seen the effects that amputation can have on individuals, and we know how to fight for you and your family’s right to justice. As your San Bernardino amputation attorneys, we can help you find quality medical care, negotiate with insurance representatives, and pursue legal actions that hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.

What Are Common Causes of Amputation?

Motor-driven devices including boats, equipment, and vehicles have been known to cause immediate amputations. Partial or total amputation away from a hospital can cause rapid blood loss and increase the risk of infections. If someone’s careless behavior or a defective part or product caused the injury, a victim may pursue legal action against the negligent individual, company or manufacturer.

Many amputations happen as a result of some other injury. Some amputations are performed to prevent the spread of infection or cancer. Amputation is often the only way to treat some conditions such as extreme frostbite or gangrene. Unfortunately, some planned amputations go awry. When physicians operate on the wrong person or the wrong body part, they can change someone’s life forever. Acts of medical malpractice involving amputation are particularly devastating for victims and their families.

In some cases, our clients come to us after a medically necessary amputation because of an infection caused by a dirty hospital, employer discrimination, or problems securing insurance coverage. At DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo, we have the resources, legal acumen, and experience to approach a case from every possible angle. We conduct thorough investigations and pursue every liable party involved in changing an amputee’s life.
