Treatment of an Amputation from an Accident in Chicago

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

If you have been seriously injured in an accident in Chicago that was due to someone else’s negligence you may be able to file a personal injury claim. An Illinois personal injury lawyer can sit down and discuss with you all of your legal options.

One of the most devastating types of injuries to sustain in an accident is an amputation. The loss of a limb can have tragic consequences that affect an individual’s ability to work, enjoy life’s pleasures and general quality of life.The treatment of an amputation will depend on the particular limb and severity of the injury.

If the limb is completely severed, known as a complete amputation, it may be possibly reattached or it may require the use of a prosthetic device. This will depend on the care given to the severed limb along with the stump.

In a partial amputation there is some soft-tissue remaining which could assist in reattachment of the limb. If not, sometimes an individual will be fitted for a prosthetic device.If the individual suffered other complications such as excessive bleeding, shock or infection they will need to be treated for those injuries as well.

Long-term treatment may include rehabilitation and physical therapy. The emotional trauma may also lead to the need for psychological therapy.Treatment for an amputation can be very costly. These costs may be recovered through a personal injury claim in some cases. Consulting with an Illinois personal injury lawyer should be your next step if have suffered an amputation as a result of an accident in Chicago.
