Amputation Injuries from Car Accidents

Amputation injuries result when a victim suffers the loss of a body part due to trauma or an emergency surgery. The loss of a limb is one of the most devastating car accident injury’s that a victim can suffer, and the damage goes beyond just the physical pain. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of amputation injuries. If you have an amputation injury as a result of another driver’s negligence or reckless behavior, consult experienced Rhode Island amputation lawyer David Tapalian immediately. There is nothing that can replace the life-altering trauma of an amputation injury, but the experts at Tapalian Law can help you receive monetary compensation to alleviate part of the financial stress of your injury.

Many car accident victims are lucky enough to escape the scene of their accidents with minor injuries, but those involved in more serious collisions are not always so lucky. Former NFL Dolphins star Kendrick Norton Jr., lost an arm in a devastating car accident in 2019. As he was merging lanes, another speeding car collided with his truck, sending it flipping through the air. His left arm was completely severed, and he lost half the blood in his body that day. His nerves were damaged beyond repair, and his arm could not be reattached. Norton’s entire life was changed in a matter of seconds all because of a negligent driver. Like many other amputation injury victims that Rhode Island amputation lawyer David Tapalian has represented, Norton not only required extensive medical treatment, but was unable to return to his occupation, playing defensive tackle for the Dolphins. Although Norton was a celebrity and professional athlete, just like other victims of amputation injuries, he feared for his financial future. His medical bills were through the roof, and he would no longer make the hefty NFL salary he was used to. Luckily, because of his diligent legal team, he was able to recover money for his medical bills, which accumulated to well over six figures.

Most victims of amputation injuries do not have the resources that Kendrick Norton Jr. had access to and are likely incredibly worried about their current and future losses. Amputation injury victims already have to deal with the trauma of permanent disablement, and money should be the last thing that they are worried about.
