The fact that an amputation was necessary for survival is often hard for a person to digest. It’s normal for an individual to want someone to blame and the truth is that there often is someone to blame – or at least someone who was responsible. If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of an amputation, then it’s essential you contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas immediately.
We can help you with all types of amputation
As you likely know, there are two main types of amputations and we have experience with both and can help you with either. Those two types of amputations are:
- A complete amputation. As the name implies, this refers to an amputation in which the entirety of a body part was removed from the body. In some cases, the body part can be reattached. If that’s the case, be sure to take proper care of the part until you can get to a medical professional.
- A partial amputation. This refers to an accident in which there is still some type of soft-tissue connection. In some cases, the body part can remain but in others it will need to be completely amputated. It all depends on the level of medical care received, when the care was received, and how the post-medical care was handled.
No matter what the story is behind your amputation accident, it’s worth consulting with an attorney to learn if you have a case.
The most common complications arising from amputations
People who’ve had a body part amputated can end up with all manner of issues but the most common are shock, infection, and excessive bleeding. All of these complications can be life-threatening. The number one thing you can do to improve your chances when in any type of accident is to get immediate medical care.
