Common Causes of Amputation Injuries

There are times when the amputation of a limb is medically necessary. When an amputation injury is the direct result of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of someone else, then, the victim can pursue compensation for their losses. Here are a few examples of situations when an amputation injury may be caused by someone else's negligence or wrongdoing:

• Car accidents: Auto accidents are among the most common causes of amputation injuries. Whether it is a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, bus or pedestrian accident, victims face the risk of losing body parts.
• Workplace accidents: Workers who operate heavy machinery in construction sites or industrial plants are also at a significant risk of suffering amputation injuries.
• Defective products: Defective appliances, machinery or even everyday products such as baby strollers have been known to cause amputation injuries.
