How Are Amputations Caused?

Amputations can be caused by a variety of on-the-job accidents and incidents. In many cases, they involve the loss of fingers, hands, arms, toes, feet, or legs. Individuals who suffer amputation injuries will have to learn how to live with their disabilities and adjust to life without the use of their limbs. In some cases, they may be unable to return to work and may require assistance with everyday tasks.

Amputations are often caused by the following types of work accidents:

• Crush accidents: When a worker’s limb is crushed between a piece of machinery and a hard surface, such as a wall, this can result in a traumatic amputation.
• Equipment entanglement: When a worker’s clothing or body part becomes caught in a piece of machinery or equipment, it can cause the limb to be severed.
• Slip and fall accidents: When an individual slips and falls, he or she may try to brace for the fall by putting out an arm or a hand. This can cause the limb to become crushed or severed.
• Motor vehicle accidents: Those who drive or work as passengers in large commercial vehicles, such as semis or construction trucks, are at risk of suffering catastrophic injuries, including amputations, in motor vehicle accidents.
• Explosions and fires: Those who work in certain industries, such as the oil and gas industry, are at risk of suffering burn injuries and amputations in explosions and fires.

Amputations are always serious and life-altering injuries. In some cases, they are even fatal. Those who survive amputation injuries will likely require extensive medical care, including multiple surgeries, as well as rehabilitative services. They may also require a prosthesis, which can be extremely expensive. Furthermore, they will need to learn how to live with their disabilities and may need to modify their homes and vehicles to accommodate their needs.
