New York City Amputation Injury Lawyers

Assisting Victim of Construction Site Amputation Injuries in New York City, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens

According to recent statistics provided by the Amputee Coalition, almost two million Americans are forced to undergo a limb amputation at some point in their lives. Moreover, every day, more than 500 people across the country lose a limb due to amputation. Although the causes of these injuries and the need for these amputations varies, construction site injuries account for some of them.

If you or a loved one has been severely injured on a construction site, and your injury requires that you undergo an amputation, you should call the New York City amputation injury lawyers at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman today. Our legal team can help you pursue workers’ compensation benefits for your injury in a timely manner and fight for your right to recover those benefits.

Causes of an Injury Requiring Amputation

Some limb amputations are trauma-related and occur when an accident victim suffers a very serious injury to one or more limbs of the body. Construction workers often encounter dangerous equipment and machinery every day of their lives. Moreover, many workers must perform their work while they are high above the ground, increasing their chances of a serious fall.

When a construction worker suffers trauma at a construction site, such as by getting an arm, hand, foot, or leg caught in machinery, then amputation may be the only available alternative.

Benefits Available in Construction Accident Cases

Amputations resulting from construction site accidents and injuries can result in many months of medical treatment, along with physical therapy and occupational therapy. In order to qualify for workers’ compensation benefits arising out of a construction site injury, the worker must have been acting within the scope of his or her employment – and working on the job – at the time the accident occurred.

To be eligible for compensation, no specific person or thing must have caused the accident. In amputation cases, injured workers could be eligible to recover the following types of workers’ compensation benefits:

● Payment of all related medical costs

● Payment of a portion of missed work wages

● Vocational rehabilitation and training to assist the worker with re-entering the workforce or finding a new career

● Permanent disability benefits
