Am I Eligible to File a Case?

Every workplace accident is unique, so there are many factors that must be considered to determine if you have the basis for a claim. This is why it is important to contact one of our experienced Glendale amputation lawyers so we can review what happened and find out if you may have an actionable case.

In a workplace amputation case, we usually need to prove your employer was negligent in some way, and there must be a link between your injury and your employer’s negligence. The legal theory of negligence has four elements and your attorney must prove each one to be able to pursue compensation:

• The defendant owed you a legal duty to act with reasonable care to prevent you from suffering an injury
• The defendant breached the duty by doing something or failing to do something
• The breach caused you harm, and there is proof of the link between your injury and employer’s negligence
• You suffered damages, which can include economic and non-economic damages (medical costs, loss of wages, pain and suffering, etc.)

There are many potential examples of employer negligence that could lead to an amputation, including:

There are numerous safety regulations employers are supposed to follow and enforce to help keep their workers safe. At the state level, employers are regulated by Arizona’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH). At the federal level, employers are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Unfortunately, employers often do not enforce safety regulations created by these organizations and workers suffer the consequences.

Determining if an employer was negligent requires a complex investigation. Our Glendale amputation lawyers can review your situation in a free consultation to determine if you may have legal options. We are prepared to thoroughly investigate to find out if you have a case. We want you to have the information you need to make a decision about taking legal action.

What Is My Case Worth?

One of the most common questions that personal injury attorneys get is “what is my case worth?” The answer will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of your injury, how it impacts you and the conduct of the defendant, among other factors.

Depending on the specifics of your claim, you may be eligible for compensation for the following damages:

Because every case is different, it is important that you contact one of our experienced Glendale amputation lawyers to learn about the potential value of your claim. We know how to evaluate the factors involved in your claim to determine damages that may be available and their fair value.

Injury victims are often unaware of all the costs that can come along with a life-changing injury like an amputation, from physical therapy and rehabilitation to prosthetic limbs and arthritis that can develop over time. This is why many victims seek representation from an experienced attorney who knows how to determine the full cost of a serious injury.

Deadlines for Filing an Injury Claim

Arizona’s statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years (Arizona Revised Statutes 12-542). This means most injury victims have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. If this deadline passes and you fail to file a claim, your lawsuit can be dismissed.

However, there are some exceptions to this deadline that give you more or less time to file a claim. An example is a claim against the government ”“ you have just 180 days from the incident to file a claim. There is also a different deadline for minors who want to file claim.

This is a complicated aspect of the legal process. This is why it is important to contact our knowledgeable Glendale amputation lawyers to determine what deadlines may apply to your claim.

How Arizona Defines an Amputation

An amputation refers to the loss or partial loss of a limb or body part. This could include an amputation that occurs after an injury when the damage cannot be repaired and an amputation is necessary. There may also be times when a body part is amputated in an accident and can be reattached.

Workplace amputations are not limited to the loss of an arm or leg. The loss of a toe or finger is also considered an amputation injury.

Common Causes of Workplace Amputation Injuries

An amputation could happen in a variety of jobs, but there are some jobs with a much higher risk for this type of injury. This is especially true for jobs with heavy machinery or machinery designed to cut or apply pressure to things.

These machines could include:

If you suffered an amputation working with any of these machines, it is important that you contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. There is limited time to take legal action, and an attorney can determine if you may have legal options for compensation.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...

What Should You Do After an Accident?

After an accident, there are steps that you can take to protect your health and your claim. First, you should seek immediate medical attention. Losing a limb can be life-threatening so this is your first priority.

You should also notify your employer right away to help create a record of what happened. This helps to link your injury to the accident. If an injured worker does not inform his or her employer, it may raise questions later in the process about whether your injury happened on the job.

If possible, revisit the scene of the accident and take pictures. This may not be possible right after the injury. You could also ask a friend, family member or coworkers if they could take pictures.

Seek follow-up care and follow your doctor’s orders. You can also keep a journal about your treatment and daily pain you experience. You may forget this information later on, so it is important to write it down regularly.

Our firm is prepared to gather the other documents and evidence needed to help prove your claim. Our legal team can begin investigating as soon as we determine you have a case and you hire our firm. There are no upfront fees.

Our firm is here to help.
