    Birmingham Amputation Injury Attorney

    Some of the most serious injuries a person can face are crush and amputation injuries. These injuries are often caused by auto accidents and workplace accidents, particularly ones involving construction sites, factories, and machinery. Crush injuries often result in severe damage to not only bones, but muscles, nerves, skin, and organs. In severe cases, a crush victim may require amputation. They could also become paralyzed or die. A Birmingham amputation attorney can help you with medical treatment, rehabilitation, and vocational training so you can adjust to your new life.

      Crush Injuries

      Crush injuries often result in broken bones, but can also cause serious complications such as the following:

      • Bleeding
      • Bruising
      • Lacerations
      • Nerve injury
      • Increased pressure in an arm or leg
      • Infection

      Dealing With Life After Amputation

      While having a toe or finger removed may not be a major issue in terms of your everyday life, losing an arm or leg is nothing short of a life-changing injury. You will likely experience mobility issues and have trouble performing basic tasks. An amputation can affect your hobbies as well as your work. You will likely have to transition into a new way of life. You may need assistance with everyday tasks and have to train for a new job.

      Amputations require significant medical assistance and treatment. You will require surgery and rehabilitation. The change you will no doubt face will affect you emotionally and physically.

      Once your wound heals and you are able to regain strength, the doctor can help prepare the limb for a prosthetic so you can regain mobility and function. A prosthetic can help you walk, lift objects, and do other tasks again.

      One-on-one training and group therapy can help you gain the physical and emotional skills you will need to get back to work or engage in your favorite hobbies. While the wound from your amputation should heal within eight weeks, the emotional adjustment will likely take much longer.
