Arm and Hand Injuries Lawyer in California

Serious and even catastrophic injuries occur when a victim of an accident suffers a severe injury to the hand or arm. An injured arm or hand can prevent the victim from doing virtually any work, and from performing even the most basic necessary daily tasks—even such as eating, or drinking fluids, or just holding an object, or tying a shoe—much less more involved activities, like driving or working to earn a living. It’s easy to imagine how extreme the change in your life would be if you suddenly lost the use of an arm or a hand.

If you or a loved one have an arm or hand injury, due to another person’s carelessness or negligence, a California personal injury lawyer from Johnson Attorneys Group can work with you to help ensure your rights are fully protected and that you obtain fair compensation.  Call today for a free consultation at (800) 208-3538.

How Do Arm and Hand Injuries Happen?

Arm and hand injuries happen due to a variety of causes and can occur in a wide range of situations, such as:

• Construction site accidents
• Automobile collision
• Machinery accidents
• Slip and fall
• Pedestrian accidents
• Dog attacks
• Public building accident
• Bicycle accident

Amputations

The most frequently accidentally amputated body part is the finger or part of a finger. Losing a finger can make even the simplest routine tasks very difficult. And, this kind of injury can cause emotional damage as well. There are various other accidental amputations that can happen to the hand or arm, such as disarticulations (separation of two bones or amputation of a body part at the joint), for examples:

• Shoulder disarticulation
• Metacarpal disarticulation (shortening of the finger)
• Elbow disarticulation
• Transhumeral amputation (amputation at the elbow joint)
• Wrist disarticulation

Life Consequences to Victims of Accidental Amputations

Amputees frequently need to be retrained to change occupations. And, victims sometimes must undergo intensive psychological therapy, to adjust to an entirely different way of life. Just the

comments and questions from other people trying to be supportive can be difficult to cope with. And, the instinctive glances from yet others, who are involuntarily mentally processing the fact of a disfigured or amputated a limb, can make mentally adapting more difficult for an accident victim.

What Kinds of Compensation Are Available for a Hand or Arm Injury?

In a California personal injury lawsuit against a negligent employer, contractor, supplier, manufacturer, industrial designer, or another party whose action is responsible for your injury, you may be able to obtain compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Lost income earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium (with spouse or partner)
• Punitive damages (designed to punish the guilty party, in some cases)
