Causes of Amputation Injuries

Whether a limb must be removed because of an injury or if a limb is lost in an accident, an amputation of the arms or legs is an event that will forever change your life and the way you live day to day. This type of injury is sometimes the outcome of:

In a serious auto accident, the circumstances of the accident can directly cause arms, legs, hands, fingers, toes or feet to be severed from your body. These types of amputations caused by trauma can easily be the outcome of an accident involving a large, heavy semi-truck. Because motorcycles offer such minimal bodily protection, motorcycle riders are also particularly vulnerable to the loss of a limb caused by trauma in an accident. There are many other ways an amputation injury can occur, and the circumstances listed above are just a few examples.
