Amputation & Loss of Limb
Pursuing justice for catastrophic, life-altering injuries
Introduction
Personal Injury Claims for Amputation & Loss of Limb in New Hampshire
Amputation and loss of limb are among the most devastating injuries a person can suffer. These catastrophic injuries permanently change a person’s mobility, independence, employment prospects, and quality of life — often requiring lifelong medical care, prosthetics, and emotional support.
When an amputation is caused by someone else’s negligence, New Hampshire law allows victims to pursue a personal injury claim for full compensation. At Vanacore Law Office, Attorney John G. Vanacore represents individuals and families facing the profound, long-term consequences of limb loss with experienced and compassionate advocacy.
