Injuries Leading to Amputation

Not all amputations are a direct result of a traumatic accident. Sometimes an injury severely damages a limb or extremity, rendering it irreparable. In many cases, irreparable body parts are actually hazardous to the victim’s health. This is when amputations must occur.

Other accidents, however, actually severs a limb or extremity on site. This can happen when heavy machinery or power tools are defective or incorrectly used. While some individuals are able to have their limbs and extremities reattached in these cases, many times the body part is severely damaged in the process of the injury.
