How A Lawyer Can Help You
Most work injury cases that are handled by a lawyer recover more financial compensation compared to those that have no legal representation. At Phillips Law Group, we understand the strategies that insurance companies often use to reduce or remove the amount of negligence on behalf of the at-fault party, and we can help to build a strong argument to counter these strategies.
For example – many injury victims are not aware of the costs that can be involved long after the injury has taken place. For amputees, this can involve on-going physical therapy sessions, medical care and the costs associated with having prosthetic limbs created and fitted. There may also be other, future medical conditions like arthritis – that may be more severe directly due to the amputation requiring other body parts to endure more wear and tear as the years progress.
“Amputation victims may require life-long medical care…”
We understand that these conditions can be expensive to treat and will often be life-long conditions. Consequently, the costs for treatment may need to be included in the compensation claim.
Our experience also tells us that insurance companies want to avoid negotiating with a lawyer so that they can settle the claim for the smallest amount possible. Their primary obligation is to their shareholders, not to injury victims.
The team of legal professionals at Phillips Law Group can handle all of the communications with the insurance company and protect your interests while you are recovering. We can also help to acquire all of the information that we can to ensure that your amputation compensation case is as strong as possible.
Do You Have A Case?
As there are many factors that can contribute to a workplace amputation injury, it can be difficult to determine if you have a case without knowing all of the details for your specific incident.
Commonly, the lawyer investigating your incident will need proof that negligence was involved on the behalf of the company that the employee was working for. That negligence can come from many different areas including:
- Lack of safety regulations
- Not enforcing approved safety measures
- Having employees work too many hours
- Dangerous machinery
Organizations like OSHA and the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) have very strict guidelines for workplace safety, which many companies simply do not enforce. In Arizona, all employers that perform under the ADOSH juristiction must notify ADOSH any time a worker is fatally injured or suffers a work-related amputation. Specifically, fatalities must be reported within 8 hours, while other injuries or hospitalizations must be reported within 24 hours.
By thoroughly investigating the incident, we can help to determine what the cause of the accident was and review the legal options that may be available to you, so that you can make an informed decision about pursuing a compensation claim for your injury.
How Is An Amputation Defined In Arizona?
Using the ADOSH definition, an amputation is considered to be the loss – or partial loss – of a body part or limb. This can include injuries that do – or do not – include:
- Bone loss
- Amputations required due to damage that cannot be medically repaired
- The amputation of body parts that have been re-attached
An example may be the loss of a toe due to a cutting implement being dropped on the foot of a worker.

What Can Cause A Job-Related Amputation?
While any working environment can potentially create an amputation injury, some industries are more susceptible than others. Often, these are industries that involve heavy machinery or equipment that exposes the operator to moving mechanisms. Some of which include:
- Lathes
- Drill presses
- Metal stamping machines
- Wood splitting/treating equipment
- Milling machines
- Printing presses
- Shearing/cutting devices
- Boilers/steam powered engines
- Food slicing equipment
- Trash compactors
It’s also important to note that while some amputated limbs can be successfully re-attached with surgery, victims often face long recovery times, along with issues that can greatly impact their daily quality of life. For example, a person that lost the tip of their finger may not be able to grasp a cup or open a jar due to nerve damage.
Is There A Deadline To File A Case?
In the state of Arizona, there is a general two-year time period to file a personal injury case. This means that from the date of the accident, the victim has two years to file a case.
However, there can be circumstances that extend or shorten this filing period. For example, if you are filing a case against the government, you must file within 180 days of the incident. Alternatively, if the injury victim was under that age of 18 at the time of the amputation, the start date may be extended until that person becomes an adult.
If you are unsure about your claim, contact an amputation injury lawyer at Phillips Law Group today. Your initial consultation is free and there is no obligation to file.

What Can I Do To Make My Case Stronger?
Should you decide to proceed with a compensation claim, our team of lawyers, assistants, investigators and industry professionals will begin gathering as much information as possible, to help make your case as strong as possible. Having some of the following available can be a great help:
- Medical records – if you have been receiving medical treatment following your injury, having those records can help to establish the validity of your injury.
- Notification to your employer – any documentation that shows your employer was informed of your injury.
- Photos – having images of the injury and while you are receiving treatment can be beneficial.
- Witness information – providing the names and contact information of any witnesses and/or those that may have been working with you when the incident occurred, may also be very helpful.
However, should you decide to hire our firm, it’s important to note that we have a full team to help obtain the information that we need. Our goal is to help make the legal process as easy as possible for you, so that you can focus on recovering from your injury.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
