Motorcycles are an efficient and exciting way to travel, but their lightweight design does not offer a high level of protection against other motorists when collisions occur.
Drivers stand a high risk of injury when accidents happen, and are often forced to incur the force of the trauma because of direct contact with the opposing force.
Traumatic amputation is a particularly devastating outcome of motorcycle accidents and occurs when an arm, leg, hand, or foot is separated fully or partially from the body.
This sort of injury can lead to a variety of outcomes, but considerable medical attention will be necessary for treatment.
Traumatic amputation injuries have severe physical consequences including excessive bleeding, infection of the wounded area, extreme pain, and shock.
In many cases it is impossible to reattach the missing body part, but the most immediate concern is to stop the bleeding and prevent infection from setting into the exposed area.
There are also many long term results that take effect after this catastrophic accident including:therapy and treatment, loss of ability to work, inability to perform simple tasks, loss of independence, reduced quality of life.
Traumatic amputation can lead to lifelong complications and restrictions.
The emotional and physical pain that arises from these accidents is often reiterated by the monetary costs of rehabilitation.
Understanding your options for compensation for your losses is important, especially if someone else was at fault for your accident.
You should not be left with the mounting medical bills that are the result of someone else's carelessness.
