Overview of an Amputation as a Result of an Accident in Chicago

An amputation is the loss of a limb, such as a leg or arm but it can also mean the loss of fingers and toes. The impact of such a severe injury can be life altering. Depending on the severity of the amputation and the part of the body affected, it may mean a lengthy time of treatment and recovery.

When someone else’s carelessness or recklessness leads to an accident in Chicago and you suffer the loss of a limb you may be able to seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and emotional distress.

 

A traumatic amputation occurs when a serious accident results in the loss of a limb. This type of amputation can occur in a traffic accident involving a vehicle such as a motorcycle, car or truck.

 

In some cases, the traumatic amputation will be partial, where there is soft tissue still remaining but in other cases it will be complete, meaning a total loss of the limb.

 

No matter what type of accident in Chicago caused your injuries, if it was caused by a negligent party you may have the legal right to pursue a claim against those responsible. An Illinois personal injury lawyer can assist you with this.
