Amputation Injuries

Securing Compensation After Loss Of A Limb

The loss of a limb is an extremely traumatic and life-changing type of injury, no matter how it happens. People who are in severe car, motorcycle or truck crashes often end up losing one or more fingers, arms, or legs, which will change their day-to-day life forever.

There are about 30,000 accident-related amputations in the U.S. annually involving various body parts. Statistics point to several common causes for the loss of a limb:

  • Motor vehicle crash
  • Electrical accident injuries
  • Fireworks and explosives injuries
  • Workplace injury
  • Agricultural, farm and lawnmower injuries

Motor vehicle crashes represent the largest percentage of medically necessary, accident-related amputation injuries. This means there was a medical need to perform an amputation because of a severe injury caused in a motor vehicle collision. Here are some additional facts:

  • The majority of traumatic amputation victims are between 15 and 40 years old.
  • Almost 80% are males.
  • The most common traumatic amputation involves some part of the hand and one or more fingers.
  • 70% of all traumatic amputations involve the upper limbs.

Compensation For Traumatic Amputation Victims

Victims of these types of injuries often experience severe and debilitating psychological and mental problems – depression, anxiety, insomnia and PTSD, to name just a few. Many people who suffer the loss of a limb also can experience what is known as “phantom pain.” This means that even though they no longer have a leg or an arm, they still experience severe pain where their limb once was.
