Amputation Injuries: Are You Or A Loved One A Victim Of ...

Amputation injuries are all too common, with more than 150,000 occurring every year. There are as many as three million amputation injury victims in the United States. There are thousands of amputee victims in Missouri and Kansas alone. An accidental severing of a body part, also known as a traumatic amputation, can arise in many ways. Some of the most common causes of amputation are as follows:
automobile crash

• dangerous products
• dangerous work environment (e.g., lack of safety measures, machinery guards)
• farming incident
• medical malpractice
• motorcycle collisions
• product misuse
• Amputee victims often face other dangers in connection with medical complications from the injury such as infection, neuroma, stiffness, Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome, and wound issues.

An amputation can have a devastating impact and there are many resources available to the injury victim. For example, the Amputee Coalition of America is an organization whose mission is reaching out to amputee victims to help them rise to their greatest potential. The organization provides such things as advocacy, education, support, and the promotion of limb loss prevention. This includes access to information, care, devices, and services. Implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act is also promoted by the organization.
