Common Causes of Amputation
Amputations can be the result of many different types of accidents and incidents. In many cases, amputations are the result of workplace accidents or accidents caused by someone else’s negligence.
Some of the most common causes of amputations include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Oilfield accidents
- Machinery accidents
- Explosions
- Electrocutions
- Crush injuries
- Defective products
- Medical malpractice
Amputations can be the result of one-time accidents or they can be the result of prolonged trauma to a limb.
The Long-Term Impact of Losing a Limb
Amputations can be devastating, both physically and emotionally.
In addition to the pain and suffering associated with the amputation itself, victims may have to undergo multiple surgeries and other procedures, such as skin grafts and scar revisions. They may also be required to complete extensive physical and occupational therapy in order to learn how to use a prosthetic limb or adapt to life without a limb.
Depending on the nature of the amputation, victims may be unable to work or engage in the same hobbies and activities they enjoyed prior to the accident. Many amputees also suffer from ongoing psychological trauma, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to the loss of a limb.
Amputations often result in the need for extensive medical care and treatment, including:
- Surgeries
- Rehabilitation
- Medications
- Prosthetics
- Home modifications
- And more
If you or your loved one has suffered the loss of a limb, you should not have to face the consequences alone. Our New Mexico amputation attorneys can help you fight for the full, fair recovery you are owed.

How Much Is My Case Worth?
The value of an amputation lawsuit can vary significantly based on several factors.
Some of the factors that can impact the value of a case include:
- The extent of the amputation: The value of a limb in a personal injury lawsuit will depend on how much of the limb was amputated. For example, the loss of a finger will typically be worth less than the loss of an entire arm.
- The victim’s age: Younger victims may be able to recover more compensation for the loss of a limb than older victims, as they will likely face a longer life without the limb.
- The victim’s occupation: If the victim’s occupation requires the use of the limb, such as a construction worker who lost an arm, he or she may be able to recover more compensation for the loss of the limb.
- The victim’s prognosis and ongoing needs: If the victim requires ongoing medical care, such as physical therapy or the need to have the prosthetic limb replaced, he or she may be able to recover more compensation.
