Common Causes of Amputation Injuries

Vehicular accidents frequently cause many types of catastrophic injuries, including amputation injuries. Some especially severe collisions can lead to situations where amputation becomes the only viable medical solution to save the victim's life or prevent further health complications.

• Car Accidents. High-speed collisions between vehicles can result in severe trauma, often necessitating the amputation of limbs. The force of impact can easily crush or severely damage limbs, especially in side-impact and head-on collisions.
• Motorcycle Accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly at risk due to the minimal protective barrier between them and other vehicles or the road. In the event of a collision, a motorcyclist's limbs can be directly impacted, leading to potential amputations.
• Pedestrian Accidents. Pedestrians struck by vehicles often experience drastic injuries due to the sheer force of a moving vehicle. Lower extremities are particularly vulnerable, and severe accidents can necessitate amputations.
• Bicycle Accidents. Cyclists, much like motorcyclists and pedestrians, lack significant protective barriers. Collisions with vehicles can result in critical injuries that may require amputations.

Recoverable Damages in a Connecticut Amputation Injury Case

In Connecticut, victims of amputation injuries are entitled to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages represent the tangible, out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury. They include medical expenses such as surgery costs, hospitalization costs, prosthetics, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. They also cover lost wages if you are no longer able to work, future loss of earnings if you are permanently disabled, the cost of lifestyle alterations like home modifications, and other related expenses.

Non-economic damages are harder to quantify, as they involve subjective losses. They include compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement and disability, and the impact on your personal relationships, also known as loss of consortium.
