There are approximately 1.7 million people living in the United States with the loss of a limb. It is estimated that one out of every 200 people in the United States has had an amputation. The loss of a limb can produce immense pain and long term emotional suffering. Sadly, an amputee also faces the burden of future medical treatment long after the injury producing event occurs.

The Chicago amputation attorneys at the Law Offices of Jeffrey J. Kroll have represented victims of trauma-related amputations. For example, a motor vehicle collision that causes a loss of blood can ultimately require surgical amputation. The same holds true with truck or motorcycle accidents. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has identified a number of work activities that can ultimately lead to amputations, including but not limited to, punch presses, rollers, saws, sheers and a number of other tools can result in a loss of fingers, toes, feet, arms, hands and legs.

A traumatic amputation may necessitate that the injured victim eventually be fitted for prosthetics. In almost every amputation case, the person will need extensive rehabilitation and physical therapy to recover from the injury and attempt to move on with his or her life. Often, counseling or mental therapy is necessary for the victim and the victim’s family.
