Leg Amputation in Car Accident
There are many types of leg amputation cases where compensation can be sought: car accident or other motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, a defective product or a dog attack. Under Minnesota law, you have a right to seek compensation from the liable party(s) if someone was at fault for your leg amputation.
The liable parties usually have some form of insurance. Those insurers are generally obligated by their contract to pay the compensation agreed to in a settlement or awarded to you by a jury. Liable parties may be individuals or companies and may include one or more of the following:
- The owner of the vehicle
- The driver of the vehicle
- The trucking company
- The owner of the freight being hauled
- The property owner where the accident took place
- The establishment that sold the alcohol (dram shop liability)
- The manufacturer of a defective product
- Medical professional or hospital
- Dog owner

If you are contacted by insurance companies following your amputation, do not talk to them or agree to any type of settlement offer. They will not make a credible offer and anything you say could be used by the insurance company to reduce the compensation paid.

Amputation victims may be able to obtain compensation for medical expenses, loss of wages, loss of earning capacity, disfigurement, disability, loss of quality of life, pain and suffering and other damages. Each case must be evaluated to determine what damages apply.
