You Don’t Have to Sort This Out Alone

Right now, the medical side of things may be taking up all your energy: surgeries, rehabilitation, and learning to move through the world in a new way. The last thing you need is to also become an expert in insurance claims and legal deadlines.

You do not have to. Jose will listen to what happened, explain your options in plain language, and handle the legal process so you and your family can focus on healing.

Personal Representation From Start to Finish

After an injury this serious, you deserve more than a case number and a rotating cast of strangers calling with updates.

At ZLG, Jose stays personally involved in your case from start to finish. Before becoming an attorney, he worked as a paralegal and gained firsthand experience with how catastrophic-injury claims are investigated, documented, and built.

He brings that hands-on approach to every case, reviewing medical records, accident reports, insurance policies, and other key evidence to help ensure important details are not overlooked. As the ZLG team grows, that same personal, detail-driven approach remains central to the firm.

When you work with ZLG, you can expect:

  • Direct communication with Jose, not a call center
  • Clear explanations without unnecessary legal jargon
  • Direct client communication and legal guidance in English or Spanish
  • Consistent updates about where your case stands
  • Personal attention to your medical history, recovery, and future needs
  • Guidance from your first phone call through resolution of your case

Bilingual Representation by Design

If you are more comfortable discussing something this personal in Spanish, you should not have to repeat your story to an intake team and then again to the attorney handling your case.

At ZLG, you can speak directly with Jose in English or Spanish from your first call onward. He will explain your case and communicate with you in the language that feels most natural to you, helping reduce unnecessary handoffs and language barriers.

Common Causes of Amputation and Limb-Loss Injuries in Phoenix

Loss of a limb is among the most serious injuries a person can survive, and it can happen in more ways than many people expect. ZLG helps clients whose amputations or limb-loss injuries resulted from:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents
  • Construction-site accidents and accidents involving heavy machinery or equipment 
  • Defective or malfunctioning products and machinery
  • Serious slip-and-fall or crush accidents
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Medical negligence, when substandard care contributes to an avoidable amputation

Whether limb loss occurred at the scene or resulted from complications, infection, or surgery after the initial injury, you may have a claim if another person or organization’s careless or wrongful conduct contributed to what happened.

‍

What Compensation May Cover

Every case is different and Jose will explain what may apply to your situation. Depending on the circumstances, compensation in a limb-loss case may help cover:

  • Emergency treatment, surgeries, and hospital stays
  • Prosthetics and the ongoing cost of replacing and maintaining them
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Home or vehicle modifications
  • Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and the emotional toll of adjusting to a permanent injury
  • Ongoing care and support your family may need

These injuries do not end when you leave the hospital. Jose looks at the full picture, including what life may realistically look like years from now, not only the bills in front of you today.

What to Do After a Serious Injury

If you are able, these steps may help protect your health and preserve information relevant to a potential claim:

  1. Get emergency medical care right away, if you have not already.
  2. Follow your medical team’s treatment and rehabilitation plan.
  3. Keep copies of medical records, bills, and receipts related to your injury.
  4. Consider speaking with an attorney before giving a recorded statement or signing documents from an insurance company.
  5. Do not sign a settlement offer or release before it has been reviewed.
  6. Contact ZLG as soon as you are able so evidence can be preserved and deadlines can be evaluated.

You do not need to have everything together before you call. If gathering documents was not possible because of your medical situation, Jose can review what is available and help identify what else may be needed.
