Why Choosing the Right Amputation Injury Lawyer Matters
If you’ve suffered an amputation injury in Los Angeles, your choice of lawyer can affect your recovery for the rest of your life. Amputation injuries are classed as catastrophic under California case law and require specialized knowledge and experience to secure the compensation you deserve.
This is where specialist representation matters. Just recently, Peerali Law received a call from a client and explained a common situation:
- Client suffers a serious injury in an accident
- Needs medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Hires a generalist law firm
- Receives an offer that’s less than their medical bills
- Feels pressured to accept or they’ll lose the case
CASE STUDY
How Peerali Law Secured 4x A Client’s Original Offer
In one recent multi-vehicle crash case, a client called Peerali Law in a tricky situation. Their attorney got a rapid $74,000 offer from the at-fault party’s insurer. The client was under pressure to accept quickly. But our Co-Founding Partner Kristopher Peerali took over the case and brought in expert medical witnesses to assess the long-term impact of the injuries. Their analysis showed that the future costs of treatment, rehabilitation, and the effect on the client’s earning capacity far exceeded the initial offer.
Within just three weeks, Peerali Law secured a $300,000 settlement—roughly four times the original offer.

What Counts as an Amputation Injury?
Not every serious injury is an “amputation injury.” Under California law, the term refers to the loss of a limb or part of a limb due to trauma, disease, or surgical procedure. These injuries are severe enough to change the course of a person’s life—medically, financially, and emotionally. They often involve long-term treatment and permanent impairment.
A claim for an amputation injury is strengthened when the following factors are present:
- Severe damage to a limb that results in amputation or partial-amputation
- Medical records, reports and evaluations that are contemporaneous with the accident
- Police reports, eyewitness accounts, CCTV or similar
- Strong evidence suggesting third-party liability
- Prior contact made by an insurance company
These cases require a deeper level of legal strategy than standard personal injury claims. The attorney must not only prove liability, but also quantify the entire future impact of the injury.
This is the work our firm is built for.
If you believe your injury may fall into this category, we can review your case for free and tell you exactly where you stand.
What If I Was Partly at Fault For the Accident?
Understandably, you may be concerned about your ability to recover compensation for your amputation if you were partly at fault for the accident. However, fault alone does not disqualify an injured victim to recover compensation in California.
California is a pure comparative liability state. Even if you are partially at fault for the amputation, you can still collect the percentage of damages you were not responsible for.
For example, if you were found to be 30% at fault for the accident that caused your amputation, you can still collect 70% of the damages. Alternatively, if you were 80% at fault for the accident, you can still collect 20% of the damages.
How Much Are the Legal Fees?
At Peerali Law, we operate on a no-win, no-fee model. This means you pay nothing upfront, and you owe us nothing unless we win your case.
Across the United States, contingency fees for personal injury cases generally range from 33%-40%, and may increase if a case goes to trial. Some firms also add extra fees or charge back expenses to the client—often without making this clear at the start of representation.
We don’t believe in hidden costs. Peerali Law provides transparent, written fee agreements so you know exactly what to expect. Many of our clients appreciate that we honor the terms of our contracts—with no surprise charges later. As one client shared in a five-star review:
“I am very happy with the settlement results… Peerali Law firm also did not charge me extra money as agreed upon in the retainer contract. They honored to stay at their minimum fee which meant a lot to me.” — L.F. (Yelp Review)
