Southern California Amputation Injury Lawyers
Amputation injuries represent some of the most devastating consequences when someone else’s negligence causes permanent limb loss. These life-altering injuries affect every aspect of a person’s daily routine, career prospects and emotional well-being.
The trusted amputation injury lawyers at Costa Mesa-based Morey & Upton, LLP, have extensive experience helping clients throughout Orange County and Southern California. Our attorneys understand the complex challenges facing individuals who suffer traumatic amputation and work tirelessly to secure maximum compensation for their recovery.
Proving Negligence In Amputation Injury Claims

- Workplace accidents involving heavy machinery or industrial equipment
- Car accidents and motorcycle accidents causing severe crush injuries
- Construction accidents with dangerous tools and equipment

We gather evidence, consult with medical professionals and work with accident reconstruction specialists to build strong cases for our clients suffering amputations or other severe injuries.
