Amputation Injury
Southwest Amputation Attorney
Facing an amputation is an intensely life-altering experience, one that brings with it not only physical and emotional challenges but also overwhelming financial ramifications. Whether the amputation is a result of traumatic incidents, medical malpractice, or disease complications, The Mooshekh Law Firm, P.C. stands as an unwavering advocate for those navigating this trying journey.
Understanding Amputations
An amputation is the removal of a limb or body part, either through a traumatic event or a surgical procedure due to severe damage, disease, or inadequate blood flow. With approximately 185,000 amputation surgeries conducted in the U.S. annually and 1.8 million Americans currently living with an amputation, the gravity of its impact on victims is undeniable.
Common Causes of Amputations
- Traumatic Accidents: These include motor vehicle collisions, especially those leading to ejection from vehicles or motorcycle accidents given their lack of protective structures.
- Workplace and Construction Accidents: Heavy machinery mishaps or crush-type injuries often necessitate amputations.
- Medical Malpractice: Misdiagnoses or improper treatment of medical conditions can sometimes culminate in amputations.
- Severe Burns and Diseases: Third- and fourth-degree burns can damage the underlying structures, while certain diseases can impede blood flow, both leading to potential amputations.
Financial and Rehabilitation Impacts
Amputation is not only a medical procedure; it’s a lifelong journey of adaptation. Studies from institutions like the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research & Policy estimate the lifetime cost of an amputation to be over $500,000. These costs include initial and subsequent hospitalizations, surgical and anesthetic expenses, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, prosthetic procurement and maintenance, lost wages, and potential career shifts, as well as home and vehicle modifications.
Rehabilitation following an amputation focuses on a multi-faceted approach that includes wound care, motor skill enhancement for daily activities, muscle strength and control exercises, pain management (including addressing phantom pains), emotional support and counseling, prosthetic training, and home environment adaptation, as well as vocational guidance for re-entering the workforce.
