California Amputation Attorneys

What is an Amputation?

An amputation is the removal of a body part which is enclosed by skin, such as a finger or leg. There are various types of amputations, including partial and complete amputations. A partial amputation is one in which the body part has not been totally severed and is still attached with soft tissue. A complete amputation is one in which the injured body part has been completely severed and is not attached to the body in any way.

A traumatic amputation is a situation where a person suffers from a partial or complete amputation as the result of an accident. Some examples of instances which may place a person at risk for a traumatic amputation include animal attacks, power tool injuries, auto accidents, and machinery accidents.

The unexpected act of losing a finger, hand, arm, toe, foot, or leg is devastating and life changing. Following a traumatic amputation the victim may experience severe pain, massive blood loss, shock, and infections. Depending upon the cause of the accident and many other factors, the limb may or may not be able to be reattached, placing the victim at risk for permanently losing a body part. In a situation where reattachment is not possible, a prosthetic device may be an option.
