What Damages Can You Recover After Losing a Limb in an Accident?<\/h2>\n

If you or someone you love has lost a limb, you are likely dealing with surgeries, fear, and a home that suddenly doesn’t work the way it used to. Money can’t undo that. But when someone else’s negligence caused it, the law lets you recover the cost of what happened \u2014 and understanding those costs is a step toward getting your footing back.<\/p>\n

There are two main kinds of damages. Economic damages<\/strong> are your measurable money losses: medical bills, lost income, the cost of a prosthetic. Non-economic damages<\/strong> cover the personal toll \u2014 pain, and the parts of life you can no longer do the same way. Together they are meant to account for a lifetime, not a few months.<\/p>\n

We’ll walk through every category below so you know what’s at stake before you talk to anyone. First, one honest thing: there is no fixed price for a limb, and this page will explain exactly why.<\/p>\n\n
