It changes how you get dressed. It changes how you drive. It changes how you earn a living.<\/p>\n<p>Did this happen to you or someone you love? You probably have more questions than answers. Maybe it was a crash, a machine, or a preventable failure on someone&#8217;s property.<\/p>\n<p>This page is here to help with the practical questions. Who might be responsible?

Both are catastrophic.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>traumatic amputation<\/strong> means the limb was cut off or destroyed in the accident itself. Think of the crush of a truck crash. Or a machine that grabbed a hand.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>surgical amputation<\/strong> means doctors couldn&#8217;t save the limb afterward. This often follows a crush injury. It can also follow a degloving injury (where skin and tissue are torn from the limb), a <a href=\"\/resources\/severe-burn-injuries\/\">severe burn<\/a>, or an infection that spread. Losing a limb weeks after the accident is still tied to what caused it.<\/p>\n<p>Partial limb loss \u2014 a hand, a foot, or several fingers or toes \u2014 still causes permanent disability and lifelong costs. For a broader overview, see our main <a href=\"\/resources\/amputation-injuries\/\">amputation injuries resource<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Amputation Injuries Happen Around Orlando<\/h2>\n<p>Limb loss takes huge force or a serious infection. So these injuries tend to trace back to a few familiar situations in the Orlando area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heavy truck traffic on tourist roads.<\/strong> Central Florida&#8217;s roads mix heavy freight with millions of visitors. <strong>I-4<\/strong> carries some of the state&#8217;s busiest daily traffic. It moves cars, tour buses, and tractor-trailers between the attractions and the interstates. <strong>SR 408 (the East-West Expressway)<\/strong> and <strong>Florida&#8217;s Turnpike<\/strong> add high-speed trucking on top of that. When a fully loaded truck hits a passenger vehicle, the crushing force can cause traumatic limb loss. Our <a href=\"\/resources\/truck-accidents\/\">truck accident<\/a> work often overlaps with these claims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hotel and construction worksites.<\/strong> Orlando&#8217;s building boom puts thousands of workers around conveyors, presses, saws, and power equipment. A missing machine guard, a failed shut-off, or equipment that starts suddenly can take a hand or an arm in seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes.<\/strong> On tourist and downtown roads, riders and people on foot have almost no protection. A crash at speed can destroy a limb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defective machinery and unsafe property.<\/strong> Equipment sold without proper safety features can lead to limb loss. So can a dangerous condition that a property owner ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Did your loved one die from injuries in one of these accidents? Your family may be able to bring a wrongful-death claim. Death is the most catastrophic outcome there is. We treat those cases with dignity and care. You&#8217;re welcome to reach out.<\/p>\n<h2>The Lifelong Costs a Limb-Loss Claim Must Account For<\/h2>\n<p>A fair amputation claim has to cover decades, not just the first hospital stay. This is exactly where a quick insurance estimate falls short.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Emergency and reconstructive surgery, hospital care, and rehab.<\/strong> Recovery often means months and repeat procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prosthetics over a lifetime.<\/strong> A prosthetic limb (an artificial limb) is not a one-time buy. Devices wear out and need replacing. Advanced parts cost more than basic ones. A young amputee may need many devices over a lifetime.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home and vehicle changes.<\/strong> Ramps, wider doorways, roll-in showers, and adapted driving controls make daily life workable. They also add up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost wages and reduced earning power.<\/strong> Many people can&#8217;t return to the same job, or any job. Some have to change careers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Physical and emotional pain.<\/strong> Phantom limb pain, depression, and anxiety are real and often lasting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To value all of this honestly, these cases rely on medical experts and life-care planners. These experts project future treatment and lost earning power. In the catastrophic-injury cases our attorneys handle, we build the claim around a person&#8217;s whole future. We don&#8217;t use a snapshot from the first month.<\/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\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

Were you hurt because the owner ignored obvious dangers like broken locks, dead lighting, or no security? You may have a claim against that owner.

Miss that deadline and you can lose the right to recover anything \u2014 no matter how serious the injury.<\/p>\n<p>Florida also follows a <strong>modified comparative-negligence<\/strong> rule. In plain terms, this is a shared-fault rule. 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. \u00a7768.81<\/a>, an injured person found <strong>more than 50% at fault<\/strong> generally recovers nothing. Any recovery is also cut by their share of fault. Insurers know this. That&#8217;s why they often try to pin blame on you.
