When a limb is amputated in an accident, your life is often changed in profound ways. Not only do you experience the pain and discomfort that results from the amputation but you may also be left with very expensive medical bills as you are fitted with a prosthesis and learn to use your new limb.
When someone else was responsible for the incident that led to your amputation, you have the right to take legal action against them. You’ll need to navigate the civil justice system effectively, though, to get the money you deserve. The St. Louis injury lawyers at Drafahl Law Firm can help.
We understand the ins and outs of catastrophic injury cases and will work with you to identify all potential defendants and prove why they should be held accountable for your amputation.

How Drafahl Law Firm Can Help If You Suffer an Amputation in St. Louis
Revisor of Missouri section 516.120 establishes a five-year statute of limitations for injury claims, so you should act quickly to get an advocate on your side to help you begin putting together a strong claim. If you wait too long to pursue a case, your claim could be time-barred and you could be prevented from recovering compensation for your losses.

- Investigating the accident scene and interviewing witnesses to help you put together the strongest claim possible.
- Hiring experts to help make your case by proving the cause of your amputation and explaining the lifelong complications and impairments it will cause you
- Identifying all defendants who could be responsible for compensating you to maximize the chances there will be sufficient insurance coverage to pay for your losses
