What You Need to Know About Amputations in Construction Accidents 

Traumatic amputations (the accidental severing of some or all of a part of a limb) in on-the-job accidents are frequently caused by inadequate machinery guards, improper repairs, improper equipment training, falls, falling objects and other unsafe work conditions. 

Amputation injuries and prosthetics pose many risks associated with medical side effects and other amputation complications including:

Victims of New York construction accidents that result in the amputation of one or more of their limbs will likely face extensive and ongoing medical bills and lost wages. Many construction workers who lose a limb will be unable to return to their jobs and might have to settle for lower-paid work. Others will become totally disabled and unable to take any kind of job.

Medical expenses related to amputations can continue for years after the injury took place. After a person undergoes an amputation, a prosthetic limb may be needed for the victim to continue to function in their daily life. The average cost for a simple prosthetic can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars. As the victim ages, the prosthetic may need to be altered or replaced completely, resulting in more expenses. A person with a prosthetic limb may need to make expensive changes to their home to accommodate their new situation.
