The unthinkable has happened—you or a loved one has suffered a wrongful amputation while under medical care. At Latona Law, we have been representing Pennsylvania families in amputation malpractice cases for over 30 years, helping them seek justice and compensation for these life-altering mistakes.
Fighting for Justice After a Preventable Amputation
In cases of preventable amputation, victims often face overwhelming medical expenses. These may include hospitalization, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and long-term care. Additionally, many amputation victims experience psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and fear. Amputation can also impact a victim’s ability to return to work, leading to financial instability.
At Latona Law, we are committed to helping victims and their families receive the justice they deserve. Attorney Latona has access to top experts and resources that allow us to thoroughly investigate whether your amputation was the result of medical negligence. If so, we will fight to secure compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial damages.

Amputation Caused by Medical Negligence
In severe cases of medical negligence, a patient may unexpectedly lose a limb, leaving them and their family to deal with a host of challenges. Fortunately, if negligence played a role, victims have the right to seek compensation for their suffering.
Some common examples of medical negligence leading to amputation include:
- Surgery performed on the wrong body part
- Failure to recognize and treat post-operative blood clots
- Infections caused by surgical tools left inside the patient
- Incorrect medication dosage or administration
- Misdiagnosis of a medical condition that leads to unnecessary amputation
Healthcare providers are held to high standards of care. When doctors, nurses, or hospital staff fail to meet these standards, patients can suffer unnecessary harm, including wrongful amputation. In these cases, proving malpractice requires demonstrating that the medical professional’s negligence directly caused the injury.
This often involves expert testimony from professionals in the same field, who can confirm that the standard of care was not followed. The injured patient must then prove that the amputation would not have occurred if the standard of care had been properly met.
