A limb.
A lifetime.
Traumatic and surgical amputations require lifetime prosthetic care, ongoing replacements, and rehabilitation. The damages case must capture the recurring cost — and the lost capacity that follows the loss.
Prosthetics aren't one-time.
Neither is the case.
Modern prosthetic limbs cost $5,000–$100,000+ each, depending on the joint level and technology. They're replaced every 3–5 years. Phantom-limb pain, residual-limb breakdown, and the cascade of compensatory orthopedic injuries are all part of the damages picture.

Prosthetic life-care planning is the core.
We retain certified prosthetists and life-care planners to project the lifetime prosthetic care plan. Combined with vocational and economic experts, it produces a damages model that matches the injury.
Comp, third-party, and product all relevant.
Comp pays a portion. Third-party negligence pays the rest. Product-defect coverage often applies when a guard, brake, or interlock failed.
What clients ask first.
The hospital amputated to save my life. Is there a case?
If the underlying injury was caused by negligence (a crash, a defective machine, a contractor's failure), the amputation is part of those damages — even though the surgical decision itself was correct.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.
How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?
Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
