FAQ for Amputation Lawyers

How Much Compensation Can I Receive for an Amputation Injury?
Compensation depends on the severity of the amputation, the impact on your daily life, medical and rehabilitation costs, lost income, and long-term care needs. Ontario law allows for claims to cover past and future medical expenses, prosthetics, therapy, loss of income, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma. While each case is unique, experienced lawyers can help ensure you pursue the maximum settlement or court award you are entitled to.
Yes. Amputation cases involve complex medical evidence, insurance policies, and strict legal deadlines. A skilled lawyer ensures all documentation is properly gathered, medical records are accurately interpreted, and insurance companies are held accountable. Legal representation maximizes your chances of receiving fair compensation while relieving the burden of managing a complex claim on your own.
Cases can arise from workplace accidents (covered by WSIB in some situations), motor vehicle collisions, defective products, medical malpractice, or negligence by property owners or organizations. Amputations resulting from preventable incidents or failures to meet safety standards often qualify for personal injury claims. Oatley Vigmond handles all these types, ensuring each case is thoroughly assessed and all potential avenues for compensation are pursued.
Yes, it’s possible to share some responsibility for an amputation injury. Under Ontario’s comparative negligence rules, your compensation may be reduced proportionally to your degree of fault. Even if you were partially at fault, you could still recover a significant portion of damages, especially if another party’s negligence contributed to the incident. A lawyer can carefully assess the circumstances, gather evidence, and minimize the impact of any shared fault on your claim.
