Amputation Due to Medical Negligence: Serving Families in Pennsylvania
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.
Signs that an amputation may have been the result of medical negligence include failure to diagnose or properly treat infections, surgical mistakes, mismanagement of vascular conditions, or unnecessary removal of limbs due to delayed intervention. In some cases, a lack of appropriate wound care or improper monitoring after surgery can also lead to avoidable amputations. If you suspect that errors in diagnosis, treatment, or post-operative care contributed to a wrongful amputation, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney.
At Latona Law, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that a wrongful amputation can have on individuals and their families. Our legal team works tirelessly to investigate every detail of your case, collaborate with medical experts, and fight for the compensation needed to support long-term medical care, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and a better quality of life.

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.
