Who This Page Is For<\/h2>\n

This page is for someone who survived a violent attack on someone else’s property and lost a limb, or now faces amputation. It’s also for family members reading on a loved one’s behalf.<\/p>\n

These attacks happen in real places. Apartment complexes. Parking lots and garages. Hotels and motels. Bars and nightclubs. Gas stations, stores, and ATMs.<\/p>\n

We know this is one of the hardest things a person can go through. You’re looking for straight answers, and you’re in the right place. Our firm handles these catastrophic cases nationwide, with help available in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n

What Happened to You: An Attack That Cost You a Limb<\/h2>\n

A violent attack can lead to limb loss in several ways. A gunshot or stab wound can damage bone, nerves, and blood vessels beyond repair. A crush injury can do the same.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the amputation happens at once. Doctors call this a traumatic amputation. Other times, a wound leads to serious infection or tissue loss, and a surgeon cannot save the limb. Either way, the result is permanent.<\/p>\n

This is a catastrophic, life-altering injury. It is not minor. Your questions about who is responsible are fair and important.<\/p>\n

The Myth: “It Was Just a Crime, So No One Else Is Responsible”<\/h2>\n

Many survivors believe the criminal is the only person who could ever be at fault. That belief is wrong, and it can cost you.<\/p>\n

Yes, the person who attacked you is responsible for their crime. But that person often can’t be found or caught. Even when they are, they rarely have money to pay for your lifetime of medical care.<\/p>\n

Here’s the key idea. A second party may also be legally responsible: the owner or operator of the property where the attack happened. Their failures may have helped make the attack possible.<\/p>\n

When the Property Owner May Share the Blame<\/h2>\n

Property owners have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to keep people reasonably safe from foreseeable harm. When they ignore that duty, they may share responsibility for what happens.<\/p>\n
