Did you lose a limb because a property was dangerous or poorly guarded? This page covers three core topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When does an unsafe property create a claim?<\/li>\n<li>What can a lifetime of limb loss cost?<\/li>\n<li>What steps protect your case before evidence disappears?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Losing an arm, leg, hand, or foot changes everything. So does losing a loved one to catastrophic injury on someone else&#8217;s property. This page is for amputation and limb-loss victims and their families, in Florida and nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Two broad situations support an <strong>amputation premises liability<\/strong> claim. First, a dangerous physical condition on the property caused the injury. Second, a violent attack the property should have stopped led to serious harm. Both can create legal responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>A free case evaluation costs nothing and carries no obligation. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers<\/a><\/strong> to learn where you stand.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large has-custom-border\"><img src=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4-1024x572.jpg\" alt=\"Prosthetics specialist fits a prosthetic limb for a patient in a bright clinic.\" style=\"border-radius:8px;width:100%;aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/prosthetics-specialist-fits-a-prosthetic-limb-for-a-patient-photo-4.jpg 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/figure>\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=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);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,currentColor);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 a property can cause a catastrophic amputation<\/h2>\n<p>A dangerous condition can crush, tear, or burn a limb so severely that surgeons must remove it. When a preventable hazard causes limb loss, that is a premises liability situation.<\/p>\n<p>Common dangerous-condition causes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Crushing injuries<\/strong> from faulty gates, automatic garage doors, elevators, or escalators.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unguarded machinery or equipment<\/strong> on business or industrial property.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pool drain and gate failures<\/strong> that trap or injure swimmers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collapsing structures<\/strong> \u2014 decks, railings, ceilings, or shelving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electrical hazards and fires<\/strong> from code violations. These cause severe burns that may lead to amputation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Untreated severe wounds and infections<\/strong> caused by a hazard. These may later force surgical amputation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some amputations follow workplace machinery accidents or surgical mistakes. Those cases involve different rules and responsible parties. If a hazard or caregiver&#8217;s mistake caused your loss, tell us. We can point you toward the right path.<\/p>\n<h2>When a violent attack on a property leads to limb loss<\/h2>\n<p>Were you attacked on someone else&#8217;s property? If the owner failed to provide reasonable security, that owner may share blame for your injuries. This is true even though a criminal caused the harm.<\/p>\n<p>Picture someone shot, stabbed, or beaten in a dark parking lot, apartment complex, garage, hotel, gas station, bar, or at an ATM. The injuries were so severe that a limb was lost \u2014 or the person did not survive. Often, the property had no working locks or gates, no lighting, no cameras, and no guards.<\/p>\n<p>An owner may be held responsible when two things line up. The owner ignored those basics. And a foreseeable attack caused catastrophic injury. This kind of claim has a name: <strong>negligent security<\/strong>. It is a form of premises liability.<\/p>\n<p>Past crime or complaints at the location matter greatly. Florida courts ask whether the harm was <strong>foreseeable<\/strong> \u2014 could it have been predicted? Similar crimes on or near the property are central to that question. That is why getting the police-call history early is so important. Those records show what the owner knew and when.<\/p>\n<h2>When a property owner may be legally liable<\/h2>\n<p>A property owner may be liable when three things are true. They knew, or should have known, about a danger. They failed to fix it or warn about it. And that failure caused your injury. Liability always depends on specific facts.<\/p>\n<p>Property owners owe a <strong>duty of care<\/strong> \u2014 a legal obligation to keep people safe \u2014 to those who enter their land lawfully. Courts ask four key questions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Did a hazardous condition or foreseeable danger exist?<\/li>\n<li>Did the owner know about it, or should they have known?<\/li>\n<li>Did the owner fail to fix it or warn visitors?<\/li>\n<li>Did that failure cause the amputation or death?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Your <strong>status<\/strong> on the property can change the duty owed. An <strong>invitee<\/strong> \u2014 a customer or guest invited for the owner&#8217;s benefit \u2014 is owed the highest duty. A <strong>licensee<\/strong> \u2014 a social guest \u2014 is owed somewhat less. A <strong>trespasser<\/strong> is generally owed the least, though exceptions exist.<\/p>\n<p>Florida has a specific negligent-security law. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.0706.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7768.0706<\/a>, the owner of a <strong>multifamily residential property<\/strong> (an apartment complex) may gain legal protection. To get it, they must add listed security measures: certain lighting, locks, deadbolts, peepholes, and security cameras. This gives them a presumption against liability for third-party crime. But the law cuts both ways. When an owner did <strong>not<\/strong> add those basics, the absence supports a claim. An attorney can tell you how it applies to your facts.<\/p>\n<p>Fault can be shared. Florida uses a modified comparative-negligence rule under <a href=\"https:\/\/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>. A claimant found <strong>more than 50% at fault<\/strong> generally cannot recover. Being partly at fault does not automatically end your case. But it can reduce what you recover.<\/p>\n<p>Only a licensed attorney can review your situation. We help you understand the facts and your options.<\/p>\n<h2>What our amputation premises liability lawyers help you pursue<\/h2>\n<p>We help you pursue the full lifetime cost of limb loss, not just today&#8217;s bills. Amputation is permanent, and the money must last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Damages in these claims often include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Past and future medical care<\/strong>, including surgeries and follow-up procedures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prosthetics<\/strong>, plus a lifetime of replacements and upkeep. A prosthetic is not a one-time purchase. It wears out and must be replaced. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15926173\/\">Peer-reviewed research<\/a> has projected that lifetime prosthetic device costs alone can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars \u2014 before rehab or lost income is counted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rehabilitation and therapy<\/strong> \u2014 physical, occupational, and mental-health support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost wages and lost future earning power<\/strong>, including a reduced ability to do your old job.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home and vehicle changes<\/strong> for access, plus in-home care and assistive technology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pain, suffering, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did you lose a loved one? A <strong>wrongful-death claim<\/strong> may be available under Florida&#8217;s Wrongful Death Act, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.21.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7768.21<\/a>. We handle these cases with dignity, centered on the family and what you can do next.<\/p>\n<p>To prove the true cost, we work with <strong>life-care planners<\/strong> and <strong>economists<\/strong>. A certified life-care planner builds a year-by-year care plan. An economist figures out what those future costs are worth today. This way, the claim reflects real needs \u2014 not a lowball estimate from an insurer.<\/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=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);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,currentColor);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.

Here is an honest answer. Catastrophic cases usually take many months to a few years. There are two reasons. First, we must wait until your medical picture is stable to know the true lifetime cost. Second, owners and insurers rarely pay fair value quickly. Here is the path.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Free case evaluation (days).<\/strong> We listen, explain your options, and answer questions. It is confidential and no-obligation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Investigation and evidence preservation (starts right away).<\/strong> This is the most time-sensitive stage. We send <strong>preservation (&#8220;spoliation&#8221;) letters<\/strong>. These demand that the owner keep footage and records. Many security systems record over old video in <strong>30 to 90 days<\/strong> or less. Prior-crime and maintenance logs can vanish, too. We move to secure surveillance footage, incident and maintenance records, police-call histories, inspection reports, and code violations. We also identify every responsible party.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building the claim (months).<\/strong> We gather medical records, arrange expert review, and prepare the life-care and economic analysis. This runs at the same time as your treatment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filing and negotiation.<\/strong> We press insurers and owners for a fair result. If they will not offer one, we prepare for litigation and trial.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resolution and payout.<\/strong> When the case resolves, we account for every dollar with you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Deadlines matter. Florida&#8217;s statute of limitations is the legal deadline to file. It is <strong>two years<\/strong> for most negligence claims that start on or after March 24, 2023, under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\">Fla.
