What Our Clients Say
What Is an Amputation Injury?
An amputation injury involves the partial or complete loss of a limb or extremity, such as an arm, hand, leg, foot, fingers, or toes. These injuries fall into two categories:
Traumatic Amputations: Occur suddenly during an accident, such as in a car crash, workplace incident, or explosion.
Surgical Amputations: Performed by doctors when a limb or extremity is so severely damaged or infected that it cannot be saved.
Traumatic amputations often occur at the scene of the accident, or emergency surgery may be required shortly after to save the person’s life.
Common Causes of Amputation Injuries in Texas
Amputations can occur in a wide range of accidents. At Carrollton Injury Law, we handle cases involving:
Auto Accidents
High-speed car, truck, or motorcycle collisions often lead to catastrophic injuries. If your limb was crushed or severed in a vehicle accident, we will investigate the cause and pursue compensation from the responsible parties.
Workplace and Construction Accidents
Worksites, especially in construction and industrial environments, present dangers such as heavy machinery, forklifts, saws, or chemical exposure. Employers and contractors may be held liable if safety protocols were not followed.
Defective Products
Dangerous or defective machinery can cause devastating injuries. If a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer allowed a defective product to reach you, they may be held accountable through a product liability claim.
Premises Liability Incidents
Slip and fall accidents, dog attacks, or poorly maintained property can cause trauma leading to the loss of a limb. Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe.
The Long-Term Impact of an Amputation
Losing a limb affects far more than your mobility. It touches nearly every part of your life:
Medical Treatment and Rehabilitation: Amputees require emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term rehabilitation.
Prosthetics and Assistive Devices: High-quality prosthetics can improve function but come with high upfront and ongoing costs.
Loss of Income and Earning Capacity: Many amputees cannot return to their former jobs. Some cannot work at all.
Emotional Trauma and Mental Health: Depression, PTSD, and anxiety are common following an amputation.
Pain and Phantom Limb Syndrome: Many victims suffer from chronic pain or sensations in the lost limb.
Our legal team at Carrollton Injury Law considers all of these impacts when calculating damages. We fight to ensure you are not left carrying the burden of someone else’s negligence.

Texas Laws That May Affect Your Amputation Injury Case
Statute of Limitations
In Texas, personal injury claims typically must be filed within two years of the date of the injury. There are exceptions in certain cases, such as when a minor is injured or in claims involving government entities. Missing the deadline could mean forfeiting your right to compensation.
Comparative Negligence
Texas uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you're found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you may be barred from recovering damages. If you're less than 51% at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally.
These legal standards make it essential to work with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can protect your rights and prove liability.

FAQ: Carrollton Amputation Injury Lawyer
How much is an amputation injury claim worth in Texas?
There’s no set amount. The value depends on the severity of your injury, the cost of medical care, your lost income, your age, lifestyle, and how the injury affects your future. Claims involving limb loss are often high-value due to the permanent nature of the injury, but each case must be evaluated individually.
Will I need to go to court?
Not always. Many amputation cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. If insurance companies won’t offer a fair settlement, we are ready to litigate.
Can I file a claim if I was partially at fault?
Yes, under Texas law you can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced. An experienced attorney can help protect your rights.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas. Don’t wait—evidence and witness memories can fade with time.
Do I need a lawyer for my amputation case?
Yes. These cases involve complex medical, legal, and financial issues. Insurance companies are not on your side. A lawyer with experience handling catastrophic injury claims can help you pursue the compensation you need for the rest of your life.
