California Amputation Injury Attorneys

There are approximately 3 million amputees living in the United States, with an estimated 77% being male. Many of these amputation victims have suffered as the result of tragic, and unnecessary accidents which could have been prevented. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident in which you suffered from any type of amputation, you are in need of experienced legal representation to ensure that your rights are protected. The Northern California amputation attorneys at Gillin, Jacobson, Ellis & Larsen are skilled professionals who have the knowledge and background to successfully represent clients in the most challenging personal injury cases.

Work related accidents are a main source of amputations and other types of catastrophic injuries in the U.S. Recently, it has been discovered that 70% of people who suffered amputations while on the job had been working with various types of machinery, and approximately 80% of work related amputations were the result of workers getting caught in the equipment. Inadequate guard equipment on machines, improper training on machine use, and poor instruction regarding safety procedures are some of the main factors which place employees at risk for machinery-related amputations.

Other leading causes of amputations are:

  • Congenital (missing a limb at birth)
  • Infection
  • Trauma, such as auto accident
  • Vascular disease
  • Tumors
  • Medical Malpractice
