It's Just Not the Same: Nerve Damage and Lost Function
Sometimes doctors are able to save a badly injured limb, but the person never recovers full use or feeling. The limb may be weak or useless. It may be numb, or a source of chronic pain, or shake uncontrollably. The injury can adversely affect one's employment and leisure pursuits, as well as the person's appearance and psyche.
The Austin law firm of Leonard B. Gabbay, P.C., has experience in personal injury claims relating to loss of use of a limb. If you have suffered damage to a hand, arm, foot or leg as a result of someone's negligence, we work to obtain maximum compensation for medical care and the economic and emotional loss.

A broken bone eventually heals, but sometimes neither the body nor the most skilled surgeon can repair substantial damage to nerves, tendons, muscles and fascia. The limb may lose strength or cease to function altogether, and over time become atrophied or deformed. In extreme cases, the damage may necessitate surgical amputation.
Our experienced attorneys have handled cases involving damage to fingers and hands, wrists and elbows, shoulders, feet and legs. We are familiar with specific types of injuries to limbs and extremities and the common symptoms and complications:
- Crush injuries
- Compartment injuries
- Compound fractures
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Paralysis of the hand
- Numbness/loss of sensation
- Spasms or palsy in the appendage
- Chronic pain or tingling
- Edema (swelling in the hands or feet)
- Carpal tunnel (wrist) or cubital tunnel (finger) syndrome
- A pronounced limp or curling/claw hand deformity
