Types Of Amputations
An amputation is the removal of all or part of a limb or other body part. Amputations are often necessary in cases of severe trauma, such as an accident injury, or to prevent the spread of an infection or disease, such as gangrene.
There are several types of amputations, depending on the location and extent of the removal:
After an amputation, the remaining part of the limb may be reshaped and closed over (closed amputation) or left open (open amputation) to heal. Patients frequently require extensive rehabilitation to learn how to function with their new physical condition. They may also be left unable to return to their old job.
Lambert Zainey has obtained recoveries from a long list of maritime companies, including some of the biggest names in the industry.
Types Of Compensation Available
A lawyer can help the victim identify the full extent of their injuries. They’ll also be able to help assign a dollar value to the damages. While some damages are easy to assess (such as medical expenses and lost wages) others, like pain and suffering, may be more difficult to estimate.
Victims of amputation may be entitled to compensation for various damages, including:

Legal Options For Amputation Victims
Amputations are often the result of negligence, including:
Those who have to undergo an amputation as a result of the negligent actions of another have many legal options available to them, including filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party and their insurance company.
To prevail in an amputation injury lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that an accident occurred, the defendant’s negligence was responsible for the accident, the amputation was necessary as a result of the accident, and they suffered damages because of their amputation. This can be a daunting task, especially if one isn’t familiar with Louisiana’s personal injury laws. Most people in this position hire an experienced New Orleans personal injury lawyer to represent their interests and protect their rights.
