What damages can you claim?

It depends on the state what damages you may claim.

If you suffered an amputation injury due to another’s negligence, North Carolina law may permit you or your loved one to recover past and future medical and therapy expenses and lost wages as well as amounts for physical and mental pain and suffering, loss of a body part or use of a body part, permanent injury, scars and disfigurement. If you were married at the time of injury, you may be able to recover losses, including their lost services, society, affection, companionship and sexual relations. 

Why contact an attorney immediately?

There are timeframes within which claims must be filed or the right to file them is lost forever. As such, waiting to contact an attorney can be the difference between having a claim and not being able to pursue a claim.

In addition, evidence disappears if not preserved. Waiting to contact an attorney who can take steps to preserve evidence can mean that evidence that may have been available for a claim is no longer available.
