Bellevue Amputation Injury Lawyer - Legal Help for Crush & Limb Loss Victims
Severe injuries deserve serious representation. We fight for victims of traumatic amputations and crush injuries throughout Washington.
When Accidents Lead to Limb Loss
Crush injuries and traumatic amputations are among the most devastating outcomes of serious accidents. Victims may lose a limb at the scene-or require surgical amputation later due to irreparable damage, infection, or complications. Beyond the physical pain, the emotional, psychological, and financial toll can last a lifetime.
If you or a loved one suffered an amputation or crushing injury because of negligence, a defective product, or a worksite accident, our Bellevue personal injury attorney can help you pursue compensation for your losses and future care needs.
Common Causes of Amputations & Crush Injuries
These injuries often occur suddenly and violently in high-impact situations. Amputations can occur due to infection of primary injury. Cascade Injury Law handles these claims when they arise from the the following accidents:
01
Motor vehicle accidents (especially motorcycle or truck crashes)
02
serious injuries from a fall
03
Pedestrian or bicycle collisions
We work to identify all responsible parties-from negligent drivers to employers, contractors, or product manufacturers.

- Arm, leg, hand, or foot loss

Crush injuries may include:

These injuries often require multiple surgeries, prosthetics, mobility aids, long-term physical therapy, and psychological support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Amputation & Crush Injury Cases in WA
Can I file a lawsuit if my injury happened at work?
Maybe. While workers' comp may apply, you might also have a third-party claim if someone other than your employer caused the injury-like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer.
What if the amputation happened after the accident due to infection or complications?
That still qualifies. As long as the underlying injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you can pursue a claim for the full consequences-even if the amputation was delayed.
Do prosthetics and home modifications get included in a settlement?
Yes. We include all necessary future medical and lifestyle costs, including prosthetic replacements and home accessibility upgrades.
