Is There a Case?
You may have thought about filing a claim to try to recover compensation after a workplace injury. However, you should strongly consider speaking with an attorney about the situation.
There are many things that need to be reviewed to determine if you may have grounds for a claim over your amputation injury. The main thing our attorneys need to find is evidence of your injury being caused by negligence.
There are many different examples of negligence that could lead to amputation injuries:
- Failure to follow safety regulations
- Failing to properly maintain machinery
- Overworking employees
- Failing to install proper safeguards on machinery
- Poor supervision
- Failing to properly train employees
- Continuing to use old or malfunctioning machines
Our experienced attorneys can review your situation carefully to determine the safety regulations that may have applied and whether they were violated.
Workplaces are regulated at the federal level by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and at the state level by the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH). For instance, OSHA requires employers to correct violations by the deadline set in the citation created by OSHA.
These are complex cases and it is generally best to allow an experienced attorney to manage the investigation and other aspects of the case so you can focus on medical care.
Call our firm to discuss your situation. 1-800-706-3000
How Long Do I Have to File a Case?
The short answer is two years from the date of the accident, as stated in the Arizona personal injury statute of limitations. If you miss the deadline, you may lose the right to file a lawsuit, and lose your chance to pursue compensation.
However, sometimes there are exceptions to this standard deadline, depending on the circumstances of the injury. Claims against government entities are subject to a 180-day notice requirement ”“ the entity you want to file a claim against must be notified within 180 days of the accident. Usually the lawsuit must be filed within just one year of the accident.
There may be other exceptions as well, which can be discussed with a licensed Peoria workplace amputation lawyer in a free consultation.
Benefits of Hiring a Lawyer
There are many advantages to hiring a lawyer to represent you after an amputation injury. First, injury victims who hire attorneys tend to recover more compensation than those who do not.
At Phillips Law Group, our attorneys have decades of combined experience representing injury victims in Arizona. We have a proven track record of recovering compensation for our clients.
We have the resources to launch a comprehensive investigation of your workplace accident to determine if negligence played a role. This includes investigating past violations of federal or state regulations and other lawsuits or claims against your employer.
We can also consult industry experts if necessary to help bolster your claim and connect your injury to the accident and your employer’s negligence.
If you hire our firm, we are prepared to manage the legal process on your behalf. This includes negotiating with insurance companies for full compensation for your damages.
We understand how difficult it can be to deal with an amputation. Medical treatment can be very expensive and ongoing. Managing pain and other symptoms from an amputation can require appointments with doctors, prescription medications and other medical interventions.
You may also be unable to work in the same job as before the injury. This can result in a loss of earning capacity that can have a severely negative impact on your financial future and ability to support your family.
Our Peoria workplace amputation lawyers are prepared to pursue full compensation for your damages, including pain and suffering, lost companionship, lost enjoyment of life, and current and future medical expenses, among other types of damages.
We are prepared to answer your legal questions. Call 1-800-706-3000
Common Causes of Amputations
Losing an arm, leg, foot, hand, fingers or toes can be devastating to your ability to do your job and perform other daily activities. Your mobility, balance and fine motor skills may never be the same, even if doctors are able to reattach the body part that became detached.
While an amputation can happen in many situations and jobs, there are some dangerous occupations where an amputation is much more likely to occur, particularly those jobs that involve working with heavy machinery that grinds, cuts or presses raw materials. Examples of these machines can include:
- Meat slicers/grinders
- Printing presses
- Wood grinding machines
- Milling machines
- Trash compactors
- Portable saws
- Lathes
- Band saws
- Roll-forming machines
- Power press brakes
If other employees are not careful, or a machine is malfunctioning, an amputation accident can occur. Victims should discuss the situation with a licensed attorney.
What to Do After an Amputation
There are a few things you can do after an amputation injury to help preserve your claim and possibly help you build a stronger case. First, you should always seek immediate medical treatment. You may be able to have your amputated limb reattached, but even if this is not possible, the injury needs to be stabilized and treated to help prevent an infection and the loss of too much blood, which could endanger your health.
You should also notify your employer right away so the injury is documented. This helps connect the injury to the accident. If possible, take pictures of the scene and your injury and get statements from witnesses about what they saw. While your attorney can manage the legal process, anything else you can do before contacting an attorney may help make your case stronger.
Employers and their insurance companies will take whatever measures they can to avoid providing fair compensation to injury victims.

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!
