The two paths matter for your claim:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <strong>traumatic amputation<\/strong> happens at the scene, when the limb is severed in the crash itself.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>surgical amputation<\/strong> happens in the hospital, when a crush injury, infection, or loss of blood flow makes the limb impossible to save.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Levels of loss generally include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fingers, hand, or below-elbow<\/li>\n<li>Above-elbow or full-arm<\/li>\n<li>Foot or below-knee<\/li>\n<li>Above-knee or full-leg<\/li>\n<li>Loss of more than one limb (multi-limb)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Riders face a danger drivers don&#8217;t: no metal cage, no seatbelt, no crumple zone. In a collision your arms and legs make direct contact with vehicles, pavement, and guardrails \u2014 which is why motorcycle crashes so often cause limb loss rather than lesser injuries.<\/p>\n<p>This is a catastrophic-injury practice. We don&#8217;t handle minor cuts or sprains. Learn more on our <a href=\"\/resources\/amputation-limb-loss-injury-claims\/\">amputation and limb loss hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How motorcycle crashes cause amputations<\/h2>\n<p>Most amputations come from high-energy impacts where a limb is crushed, pinned, or torn. A few patterns come up again and again:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Left-turn collisions.<\/strong> A driver turns across a rider&#8217;s path and fails to yield \u2014 one of the most common ways riders are struck.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Truck and large-vehicle crashes.<\/strong> The mass of a heavier vehicle turns a leg or arm injury into an unsalvageable one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being pinned or dragged.<\/strong> A rider trapped under a car or dragged along the road can suffer damage no surgeon can reverse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delayed amputation.<\/strong> Sometimes the limb survives the crash but must come off days later \u2014 from <strong>compartment syndrome<\/strong> (swelling that cuts off blood flow), infection, or tissue death. A delayed amputation is still a crash injury, and your claim should reflect it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some riders do not survive. When that happens, the family may bring a <strong>wrongful-death<\/strong> claim. We handle those cases with care, centered on the family and what they can do next.<\/p>\n<h2>What a motorcycle amputation claim can cover<\/h2>\n<p>A limb-loss claim seeks money for what you&#8217;ve already lost and what you will need for the rest of your life. Because these injuries are permanent, the future costs usually dwarf today&#8217;s bills.<\/p>\n<p>A claim may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Past and future medical care<\/strong> \u2014 emergency surgery, hospital stays, rehabilitation, wound care, and revision surgeries<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lifetime prosthetic costs<\/strong> \u2014 this is often the single largest number in the case. A prosthetic limb is not a one-time purchase: sockets, components, and the device itself wear out and are replaced repeatedly over decades, and advanced myoelectric limbs cost far more than basic ones<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost wages and lost future earning capacity<\/strong> \u2014 including a forced career change when you can no longer do the job you had<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home and vehicle modifications<\/strong> \u2014 ramps, wheelchair access, adapted driving controls, and in-home care<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain and suffering<\/strong> \u2014 including phantom-limb pain and the emotional toll of losing a limb<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loss of enjoyment of life<\/strong> \u2014 and the strain on your family and relationships<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every case is different, and no honest lawyer can promise a dollar figure. What we can do is document your true lifetime needs so nothing is overlooked or undervalued.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;How much is an amputated leg worth?&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>People search for this exact question, and they deserve a straight answer instead of a billboard number. Here it is: there is no fixed price for a leg or an arm, and anyone who quotes you a figure before reviewing your medical records and the available insurance is not being honest with you. What we <em>can<\/em> do is explain, plainly, what actually drives the value of a case like yours.<\/p>\n<p>The factors that move the number most:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The level and number of amputations.<\/strong> An above-knee loss carries higher lifetime prosthetic and mobility costs than a below-knee loss; losing more than one limb raises them further.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your age and occupation.<\/strong> A younger person, or someone whose work is physical, generally faces larger future losses because those losses stretch across more working years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Documented lifetime care.<\/strong> A <strong>life-care plan<\/strong> prepared by a certified planner, paired with an economist&#8217;s projection, turns &#8220;future costs&#8221; into concrete, defensible numbers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fault.<\/strong> How the crash happened and who was responsible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Available insurance.<\/strong> The at-fault driver&#8217;s liability limits, plus your own <strong>uninsured\/underinsured motorist (UM\/UIM)<\/strong> coverage \u2014 which often matters enormously when the at-fault driver carries little insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida uses a <strong>modified comparative-negligence rule<\/strong> under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.81<\/a>. In plain terms: if you share some blame for the crash, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. As amended in March 2023, the statute bars recovery entirely if you are found <strong>more than 50% at fault<\/strong>. So if a jury values your losses at $1,000,000 and assigns you 20% of the fault, you would recover $800,000 \u2014 but at 51% fault, you recover nothing. That is precisely why how fault gets investigated and argued matters so much.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,#900000);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>How the process works, step by step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free case evaluation.<\/strong> We listen, review what happened, and explain your options in plain language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation.<\/strong> We gather the crash report, witness statements, photos, vehicle and scene evidence, and your medical records \u2014 often with crash-reconstruction experts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building your damages.<\/strong> We work with your treating physicians, a life-care planner, and an economist to document your lifetime needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handling the insurers.<\/strong> We take over the calls and negotiations so you don&#8217;t have to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settlement or lawsuit.<\/strong> We negotiate for a fair resolution.
