CALIFORNIA AMPUTATION ATTORNEYS

Representing Cyclists Who Have Suffered Loss of Limb in California

Accidental amputation is one of the most traumatic injuries a person can sustain. Losing a limb in any regard — whether in the course of a horrific crash or at a later date when a limb must be surgically removed — is incredibly devastating for victims. As a cyclist and athlete, you may find yourself trying to come to terms with a new normal. Amputation injuries may even prevent you from returning to what you love: cycling.

After a life-altering bike accident injury, such as the loss of an extremity or limb, many cyclists understandably want to know whether or not they will be able to ride again. Advances in modern prosthetics have allowed cyclists to continue competing and cycling after an accidental amputation or loss of limb. However, the cost of these high-performance prosthetics can be extremely high. And, of course, this does not take into account the cost of initial medical treatment, repairs to your bike, physical therapy, and more.

If you believe someone else was at fault for your accident, you may be wondering whether you have a case and, if so, how much your case is worth. The answer, unfortunately, is not so simple. The exact compensation you will be able to recover will depend on a variety of factors, including which limb you lost and the economic and non-economic impacts this has had on your life.

That being said, many amputation victims are able to recover compensation for the following damages:

• Immediate emergency medical treatment
• Physical rehabilitation therapy
• Emotional distress/trauma
• Reduced or lost earning ability
• Prosthetics (in certain instances)
• Pain and suffering
• Lost income/wages
• Property damage (damage to bike)

This list is not exhaustive, nor is it a guarantee. At Bike Legal, we help our clients pursue the maximum compensation they are owed under California law.
