Each workplace amputation case is different, and it is difficult to determine if you may have a valid case without knowing the specifics.
One thing we need to determine is if your employer’s negligence played a role in your accident and resulting injury. We must establish that the four elements of negligence were present in your accident:
There are many potential examples of employer negligence that could lead to an amputation accident:
Arizona employers must follow safety regulations set by Arizona’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health and federal regulations set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Our attorneys are prepared to review these regulations to find out if any were violated before your accident.

You generally have just two years from the date of the accident to file a claim for compensation. This is stated in Arizona’s personal injury statute of limitations. If you miss the deadline, you may lose the right to pursue compensation through the legal system.
There may be exceptions for your claim that extend the deadline. However, there are other exceptions that may shorten the deadline. It is important to discuss your situation with an experienced legal representative as soon as possible to help avoid missing the deadline.
