Typical Injuries
- Loss of fingers, hands, or arms
- Loss of toes, feet, or legs
- Phantom limb pain and nerve sensitivity at the amputation site
- Psychological trauma including depression and body image disorders
- Need for lifelong prosthetic devices and replacements
- Loss of independence and need for daily living assistance
How We Prove Liability
Amputation cases often involve employer negligence, machine manufacturer defects, or unsafe premises conditions. Proving liability requires demonstrating that proper safety guards, lockout tagout procedures, or other protective measures could have prevented the amputation. Expert testimony from safety engineers and biomechanical experts helps establish what went wrong and who was responsible for the conditions that caused the catastrophic injury.
Texas Legal Framework
Texas does not cap actual damages in most personal injury cases, which is crucial for amputation victims who face millions of dollars in lifetime prosthetic costs and lost earning capacity. OSHA regulations enforced in Texas require machine guarding under 29 CFR 1910.212, and violations serve as evidence of negligence. Texas workers compensation provides limited benefits for amputations, but third party liability claims allow injured workers to pursue full compensation beyond the workers comp system.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
