Kirby & Holt - North Carolina Amputation Injury Attorneys
If you or a loved one has lost a limb as a result of a truck accident, an infection, or a work-place injury, contact the serious injury attorneys at Kirby & Holt in Raleigh. Our lawyers and full-time nursing staff have the experience and understanding of severe injuries necessary to develop and present the strongest possible case for compensation.
We represent plaintiffs in personal injury cases involving serious injuries such as brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, and quadriplegia. In especially severe accidents involving falls from heights, high-speed collisions, or crushing injuries, loss of an arm or a leg will often be accompanied by other serious injuries, but can be separately considered as a distinct component of the client’s overall damages claim.
The North Carolina amputation injury lawyers of Kirby & Holt have considerable experience with the proof of liability against defendants in accidents such as:
- Tractor-trailer collisions
- Workplace injuries involving heavy equipment, falling objects or structural components, or falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
- Surgical errors
- Failure to diagnose infections and serious illnesses
In each of these accident scenarios, amputation is a plausible injury risk, especially when the victim's arm or leg is caught for any length of time beneath a heavy object following a fracture of the limb.
In amputation cases, those affected often need prostheses, and may need a variety of prostheses to cope with a variety of conditions. Some computerized limbs can be used in which the mind allows them to move, grip and perform other common tasks. Some clients need a variety of prostheses to deal with different situations, such as swimming or exercising. We work with experts in prosthesis who help determine what prosthetics are needed to help return our clients to their maximum physical potential.
