Injuries that cause or require amputation are life-changing, interfering with your career, personal life, self-image, and quality of life. While a financial recovery cannot fix all, it may help you cover essential medical care, counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and other needs.
An Athens amputation attorney from our team will lead your workers’ compensation claim or lawsuit. We’ll fight for all of the money you deserve, regardless of how we pursue your financial recovery.
Recoverable Damages for Victims of Amputation Injuries in Athens
Whether you suffered an on-the-job injury or experienced amputation under other circumstances, it’s our responsibility to identify all of your damages. Though a workers’ compensation claim may only cover certain damages, we’ll make a detailed record of your losses, including:
Pain and Suffering
Our team serving Athens will determine all types of pain and suffering your amputation has caused. We can work with mental health professionals, your doctors, and you to identify symptoms like:
- Depression
- Physical pain
- Discomfort in your nervous system
- Harm to your self-image
- Suicidality
- Lost quality of life
- Loss of physical abilities that brought you joy
The emotional and psychological cost of your amputation may be steep. Our team will seek fair compensation for both your pain and suffering and any treatment you need to improve your symptoms.
Lost Income and Other Professional Damages
An amputation injury may prevent you from doing your job. Even if you can find employment following your injury, your pool of professional opportunities may shrink substantially. As a result, you may:
- Lose income
- Have less earning power
- Lose the fulfillment of the job you previously held
- Lose promotions, bonuses, and other benefits that you may have earned had you not suffered an amputation
Professional harm generally means financial harm. Financial pressures can worsen the emotional and psychological symptoms of your injury. Our team will work to get you fair compensation for the full cost of your amputation.
Medical and Rehabilitation Expenses
Pain management following amputation can be difficult. Our Athens amputation attorneys will work with your doctors to understand and accurately value the rehab and pain management therapy you will require.
We’ll also seek money for all medical costs related to your injury. Workers’ compensation insurance generally covers a victim’s medical expenses. If you pursue a lawsuit, we’ll fight for money to cover all of your medical bills, too.
The Cost of Disability
A disabling injury like an amputation can cost you your independence. Someone with an amputation may:
- Need costly medical equipment
- Require someone else to drive (at least while acclimating to the injury)
- Be unable to complete day-to-day responsibilities without assistance
- Have other limitations that require various forms of assistance
The reality of an amputation injury can be difficult, but an amputation attorney from our team serving Athens will work to provide some relief. We will fight for a financial recovery that holds liable parties accountable and reduces your financial stress.
