Amputation

Losing a limb changes work, independence and identity. Prosthetics need replacing every few years for the rest of your life, and that arithmetic is the heart of the claim.

The prosthetic math is the case

A modern prosthesis has a service life measured in years, not decades. Multiplied across a normal lifespan, replacement and maintenance alone runs into seven figures before anything else is counted.

Phantom pain is not imaginary

It is a recognized neurological condition, it is frequently permanent, and carriers treat it as soft tissue. It gets documented and proven like any other injury.

Comp or tort, and usually both

Industrial amputations tend to involve a machine, a guard that was missing, or a contractor who should not have been there. That is a third-party claim alongside comp, and it is where the recovery actually is.

What you can no longer do

Vocational experts establish the work now closed to you. That is loss of earning capacity, and it is separate from the wages you have already lost.

Not sure you have a case?

That is what the free review is for. Two minutes on the phone is usually enough to tell you.
