Amputation Injury Lawsuit Settlement Funding

If you’ve suffered an amputation injury because of someone else’s negligence, you know the impact goes far beyond the physical. The emotional and financial strain can feel just as overwhelming, especially when the legal process for compensation takes so long.

You don’t have to face these financial struggles alone while your personal injury case moves forward. Baker Street Funding can provide pre-settlement funding for amputation victims like you. This can help you cover medical bills, make up for lost wages, and manage other expenses while you wait for your lawsuit to settle.

Understanding Amputation Injury Lawsuits

When a traumatic amputation injury results from another’s negligence or intentional actions—whether in a motor vehicle accident, on a construction site, due to medical errors, unsafe premises, fires, or combat—you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for your loss.

If the injury happened at work, you could qualify for workers’ compensation. This can help cover medical bills and part of your lost wages without needing to prove fault. This coverage can provide for your medical expenses and partially cover lost wages, all without the need to establish fault.

Workers’ compensation benefits typically include:

• Medical Expenses
• Partial Wage Replacement
• Vocational Rehabilitation

It’s important to understand that workers’ compensation might not always cover all your losses, especially for catastrophic injuries. In this case, you might be able to pursue a claim against third parties responsible for your injury, due to:

• Defective Machinery or Equipment
• Subcontractors or Other Entities
• Negligent Drivers

Dealing with a serious injury like limb loss is incredibly tough. While a lawsuit can eventually bring some peace of mind and financial help, the legal journey itself can be long and complicated. It often takes months, even years, to get a settlement or a decision in court.

During this time, the bills keep piling up – medical care, therapy, and just living day-to-day. This adds huge stress for you and your loved ones.

But you don’t have to wait. Pre-settlement funding can give you immediate cash. This way, you can focus on your recovery and let your legal team fight for what you truly deserve, free from the added financial strain.

Quick Fact: According to the National Center for Health Statistics, every year in the United States, around 38,500 people experience traumatic amputations, joining the approximately 2 million people already living with limb loss.

What is Pre-Settlement Funding for Lawsuits Involving Amputation Injuries?

Pre-settlement funding is a financial lifeline for individuals facing the immense challenges of amputation injuries. These injuries often require extensive medical care, including surgeries like osseointegration, TMR (Targeted Muscle Reinnervation), TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), or vascular surgery, as well as prosthetics and ongoing physical therapy.

Combined with the loss of income many experience, the financial strain can quickly escalate—whether it’s struggling to afford a custom prosthetic, keeping up with mounting medical bills, or simply covering everyday essentials like rent and groceries.

This type of funding provides access to the money you need while waiting for your case to settle or reach a court decision. Unlike a traditional loan, pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, meaning you only repay if your case is successful. This allows you to cover urgent expenses—like medical bills, rent, or daily living costs—without added financial stress. With this support, you can focus on healing while your legal team works to secure the compensation you deserve.

How We Evaluate Personal Injury Lawsuits Involving Amputation Injuries

Clear Documentation of Liability

• Detailed Incident Reports: Witness statements, accident reports, ER records, and police reports.
• Mechanism of Injury: Detailed descriptions of how the accident occurred (e.g., machinery malfunction, vehicle collision, workplace accident) and how it caused the need for amputated limbs.
• Immediate Actions: First aid administered, the timeline of emergency medical response, transportation to the hospital, and any delays or issues that may have otherwise saved the limb.

Comprehensive Medical Records

• Extent of Initial Trauma: This can include crush injuries, loss, or extensive damage to that part of the body.
• Medical Records: Detailed pre- and post-amputation assessments, including x-rays, MRIs, or CT scans that document the extent of the injury. Detailed logs of all medical treatments, including medications, and follow-up therapies.
• Surgical Reports: Detailed accounts of the amputation surgery, including the type of procedure performed (e.g., below-knee, above-knee), post-op report, costs, and any immediate post-surgical complications, such as infections, revision surgery, neuroma excisions, or secondary conditions resulting from the amputation.
• Expert Testimonies: Such as orthopedic surgeons, prosthetists, and rehabilitation specialists explaining how the injury occurred, the requirement for medical amputation, the effectiveness and limitations of prosthetic devices, and the long-term implications.

Severity and Impact of the Loss of Limb

• High Medical Costs: High costs associated with medical treatment, including surgical procedures, hospitalization, prosthetic limbs (which can range from $5,000 to over $50,000 each and often need replacing every few years), rehabilitation (physical therapy sessions costing $75-$150 per session), home modifications (such as ramps and accessible bathrooms costing $10,000-$20,000); adaptive equipment (such as wheelchairs and specialized vehicles), and ongoing medical care.
• Loss of Income: Vocational experts may be necessary to assess the potential lifetime earnings lost due to disability.
• Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Amputees commonly face phantom limb pain, body image issues, social isolation, and the need for extensive psychological support to cope with the drastic change in their physical abilities and lifestyle.

Other Considerations

• Defendant’s Insurance Coverage
• Strong Legal Representation
• Regulatory Violations
• Product Liability
• Long-Term Prognosis

What happens if I lose my case?

You owe us nothing. Our funding is non-recourse, which means it’s not a traditional loan. You only repay the advance if you win your case and receive a settlement. If you don’t win, you keep the money with no strings attached. There is zero risk to you.

How much funding can I receive for my amputation injury lawsuit?

The amount of funding you can receive depends on several factors, including the specifics of your injury, the strength of your case, and the estimated value of your final settlement. Typically, we can advance up to 10% of your case’s estimated value.

Do I need good credit to qualify?

No, your credit score is not a factor in our decision. Approval for pre-settlement funding is based entirely on the merits of your soft tissue injury case, not your personal credit history or employment status.
