Legal Help if Medical Negligence Results in Amputation
Amputation is a life-changing event. Amputation requires many adjustments including learning to use a prosthesis in place of an arm, leg, hand or foot. It can mean physical rehabilitation as well as occupational training.
If an amputation was required because of a medical mistake — like a failure to diagnose an infection — talk to a negligent amputation lawyer at Knapp & Roberts about how this has changed your life.
We care ... and we can help. Let us tell your story.

When The Cost Of Someone Else's Medical Mistake Is Amputation
Losing an arm or leg is traumatic. Knowing that the amputation might have been prevented makes the trauma even more difficult to understand. How and why did this happen?
- Were the appropriate tests done? Most amputations are medically necessary. There are cases, however, where a physician performed an amputation without sufficient cause.
- Did lack of post surgical follow-up cause the problem? When the surgeon or hospital medical professionals fail to monitor a surgical injury to ensure proper circulation or to fight infection, the situation could worsen to gangrene, necessitating amputation.
- Did the medical team act quickly? Often minutes matter in the effort to save a limb.
