"I was involved in an accident while in the United States visiting from Jamaica. I was referred to an attorney who then sent me to Mr. Yeboah. Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in about two weeks after I signed with Yeboah Law Group. He told me that cases usually take longer but Mr. Yeboah was able to settle my case fast. Thank you Mr. Yeboah!"

"I was racially discriminated against by one of the largest banks in the country. I felt very strongly about filing a racial discrimination case against them, but I didn’t know the first thing about my options. I consulted with Mr. Yeboah about what had transpired and what I wanted to do. He very professionally gave me a rundown of the steps and possible actions that could happen in result of those actions. He never persuaded me one way or the other, but always assured me whatever my decision he would fight for me. Long story short, I filed the discrimination claim with the EEOC and later sued that bank with Mr. Yeboah’s help. He walked me through and communicated with me the whole way. There was even a time, where it looked unlikely that the case would go in my favor, and I considered dropping the case. But he told me to wait and let him see what he could do. He went back and forth with the bank’s legal team, again this being one of the largest banks in the nation, and he was able to negotiate terms that we all were happy with. He turned something into nothing by refusing to give up. When I thought that this whole thing was going to be a loser, he turned it around for me. He never stopped fighting for me, even though he knew the case was challenging. He set the expectation for me from the beginning. He never overpromised, but just kept me informed of the complete situation. I would recommend Mr. Yeboah and the Yeboah Law Group to anyone who wants a fighter and an advocate, who’s not afraid to go to bat for you, and won’t sell you a dream, but keeps you in the loop and...

Loss of limb/Disfigurement

Compassionate Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyers Demanding Justice for Clients Suffering Loss of Limb

Representing injured South Floridians who have been disfigured in an accident

The loss of a limb and the resulting disfigurement is a life-changing event that has a physical, emotional, financial and psychological impact on anyone who must deal with this challenging circumstance. The healing process after the loss of a limb is not to be underestimated. It can be painful, but it can also be difficult financially if you are losing time from work while you recuperate. When your loss of limb injury was the result of the negligent actions of someone else, you can rely on the Fort Lauderdale loss of limb lawyers at Yeboah Law Group to fight to win the compensation you deserve.

Causes of loss of limb and amputation

First, let us make the distinction between limb loss and amputation. Limb loss and disfigurement occurs due to a traumatic accident, or a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, infections, cancer or another disease. While you might think that limb loss is rare, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that there are about 1.9 million people living with limb loss in the United States.

Amputation is the surgical removal of either part of a limb or the entire limb such as an arm, a leg, hand, foot, finger or toe. WebMD reports that there are about 1.8 million Americans living with amputations, with the amputation of the leg above the knee being the most common.

The main causes of limb loss, according to the Amputee Coalition, include the following:

Vascular disease (including diabetes and peripheral arterial disease)
Trauma (motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, airplane crashes, and construction accidents)
Cancer

Nearly half of individuals who have an amputation due to vascular disease will die within five years, which a mortality rate that is higher than for breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer.

Limb loss caused by a medical error

Although it might be horrifying to think about it, loss of limb can be the result of a preventable medical error. If a doctor misdiagnoses a disease, makes a mistake in treating a disease, or a WSPE (wrong site, wrong procedure, wrong patient error) which are fortunately rare, it can result in the accidental amputation of a limb, or the loss of a limb due to the progression of disease such as gangrene from a vascular disorder. In the case of a loss of limb being the result of medical negligence, you may be able to take legal action against the doctor or other medical professional through a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Seeking compensation for amputation injuries

At Yeboah Law Group we are aware that the compensation you might receive for a loss of limb injury can never replace your limb, but it can serve to take care of all medical expenses related to the injury, your pain and suffering, lost wages, the emotional distress and trauma of losing a limb and the subsequent disfigurement, disability, diminished earning capacity and other expenses.

Treatment options for amputees and sophisticated prosthetics can help to greatly improve your quality of life after the injury has healed. South Florida hospitals such as the University of Miami Hospital have rehabilitation programs for amputees that offer a host of services to help those who have lost a limb address the practical consequences. They can also assist them with the emotional and psychological impact of the loss of a limb.
