Was The Amputation Necessary?

It Can Depend On Who You Ask

L. Bradley Schwartz combines his highly personalized knowledge about amputations with his trusted professional resources to help clients answer the big question - “Could the amputation have been avoided?” Not every lawyer knows what to look for when an amputation results from an untreated medical condition.  Doctors rarely admit that earlier treatment for an infection, wound, or disease may have halted or reversed the progression that necessitated amputation. But delays in treatment, missed warning signs and the failure to timely administer antibiotics can result in deadly medical conditions like sepsis, necrosis, purpura and gangrene.
