Jefferson County Amputation Work Injury Attorneys
People who have suffered the loss of an arm, leg, finger or toe may suffer significant medical, financial and personal challenges. The loss of a vital body part can affect a person's life in innumerable ways. From employment challenges to difficult challenges affecting daily life, people who have sustained such injuries experience significant hardships.
People who have had a body part amputated as a result of a work accident may be told by their employer or their employer's insurance company that workers' compensation is their exclusive remedy. Fortunately, this is not always the case.
Your Right to Compensation
If you were injured on the job and your injuries were caused in part by a third party or by a dangerous or defective product, you may have a basis to obtain compensation through a personal injury claim.
While workers' compensation is typically an exclusive remedy for injuries caused by an employer or co-worker, it does not bar recovery for injuries caused by a third party or injuries caused by a negligent product manufacturer.
At the Drake Law Firm, we have helped many injured workers obtain compensation through third-party liability and product liability claims. We have helped many injured workers who have had a body part amputated following a work accident.
In our experience, workplace accidents that result in amputations often involve industrial and manufacturing accidents. While less common, construction site accidents also cause serious injuries which may require an amputation. Common causes of amputation injuries include conveyor belt accidents, auger injuries, table saws and dangerous products.
