Amputation and Public Transit

Chicago Attorney for Victims of Public Transit Accidents

Most people believe implicitly in the safety of public transit, but statistics here in Illinois do not always bear out that trust. Many hundreds of accidents are recorded each year by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration involving public transit vehicles, and the resulting injuries can range from mild to catastrophic. When an enormous bus or train collides with a conventional car, truck, or motorcycle, major injuries will result regardless of the speeds involved. One of the worst outcomes: traumatic amputation of a finger, toe, arm, or leg.

Losing a digit or a limb is a major life change, of course, but the effects do not end with the loss itself. Chronic pain is commonly associated with a public transit traumatic amputation accident, and that pain may arise from any number of sources:

• Bruising
• Chafing
• Bone spurs
• Neuroma
• Muscle Pain
• Phantom limb pain

The expenses associated with managing pain of this sort can be exorbitant, which is why you want to retain a professional Chicago amputation attorney to help you recover what you deserve.

What kind of expenses can you recover in a mass transit traumatic amputation lawsuit here in Chicago? The short answer: a number of the things that most people are interested in. You can win money to compensate you for loss of income, medical expenses, therapy, prosthetics, chiropractic treatment, and even mental health issues. You may also win an award for pain and suffering, which is determined by a jury after hearing the many ways your life has changed following the mass transit accident.
