Amputations
Amputations result when a part of or entire limb is severed from the rest of the body. Approximately 25% of amputations in the United States are linked to industrial, machinery, farm, or motor vehicle accidents. Some amputations are the result of birth injuries or medical negligence. Some amputations occur as a result of medical malpractice even though the underlying injury occured on the job (whether it was due to inadequate guards on machinery, ineffective tools and equipment, improper repairs or lack of training necessary to operate machinery and equipment) if the limb was removed to do medical error.
Although not common, sometimes amputations are caused by negligence or intentional misconduct. In such situations, the person who acted negligently may be held responsible to the injured party. This list of people includes, but is not limited to, doctors, hospitals, product manufacturers, vehicle drivers, and construction site operators.
