What is My Arm Amputation Case Worth?
When our law firm represents an someone who has tragically lost an arm, we look at several factors to determine how much an arm amputation case is worth:
- Medical Expenses : We look at all medical expenses related to your arm amputation, including bills from your hospital, physician, physical therapist, etc. The amount you spend on prosthesis (artificial arm) is also recoverable. We hire medical experts to estimate your future medical expenses, which are also recoverable. Recovery is different for every arm amputee.
- Lost Income: We look at how you made money before the amputation and how your injury is going to affect your ability to continue to make money into the future. Some of the factors include 1) your job and income before the amputation, 2) how long you have been unable to work and how long before you are able to work again and 3) if you have to get a different job and how much that job pays. If you were a concert pianist, that will greatly increase the amount of money we would seek to recover for you.
- Pain and Suffering: Arm amputation pain and suffering damages generally include amounts for physical pain, emotional distress, permanent disability, disfigurement, and loss of quality of life. We hire experts to build our case for past and future pain and suffering. These experts can testify as to phantom pain in addition to other pain issues.
