Amputation injuries

At Andres Law Offices, PC LLO, we fight to get you the compensation you deserve when amputation injuries occur.

Amputations are one of the most severe types of on-the-job injuries that can happen to a worker. In addition to being potentially life-threatening, they can leave you permanently disabled and unable to provide for yourself or your loved ones. At Andres Law Offices, PC LLO, we act as a strong advocate on your side in these situations. While you focus on your recovery, our experienced Nebraska workers’ compensation attorney fights to get you the benefits you are entitled to in your claim.

Protecting You When Amputation Injuries Happen

While people who work in machine shops, factories, and around any type of heavy equipment are most at risk, the fact is that any worker can end up suffering amputation injuries. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), they are one of the most common and debilitating types of on the job injuries. They are most likely to happen when equipment does not have the proper safeguards or when safety standards are not in place.

Amputations can impact arms, hands, fingers, legs, or other body parts that are exposed to sharp edges or quickly-moving belts and other machine parts. They can also occur as a result of crushing injuries. At Andres Law Offices, PC LLO, workers we represent who suffer amputation injuries as a result of their jobs often include:
