Amputations

Work related accidents and car accidents are a main source of amputations and other types of catastrophic injuries. Inadequate guard equipment on machines, improper training on machine use, and poor instruction regarding safety procedures are some of the main factors which place employees at risk for machinery-related amputations.

Other leading causes of amputations are:

• Congenital (missing a limb at birth)
• Infection
• Trauma, such as auto accident
• Vascular disease
• Tumors
• Medical Malpractice

An amputation is a life-changing experience, not only for the victim but his or her family as well. Daily activities, employment, and personal relationships can all be affected by an amputation.
