Causes of Limb Loss

Limb LossLimb loss may occur if a limb is severed and not able to be reattached, and ranges from partial to total. In some cases it occurs because the physician needs to amputate a limb as a result of gangrene or other infections or problems with the limb.

Partial or total loss may result from:

  • Diabetes, cancer, vascular disease or other medical conditions–In most cases, no one is responsible for this type of limb loss. However, if your doctor failed to diagnose or properly treat a condition that led to limb loss, you may have a medical malpractice claim against your physician.
  • Automobile accidents involving cars, trucks, trains, or pedestrian accidents–Your limb may be severed during the crash or crushed and experience blood loss so severe that the limb cannot be saved.
  • Work accidents involving machinery and construction site mishaps–Sharp blades, motors, or other equipment used in factory environments, industrial environments, and construction sites can all cause limb loss.
  • Defective products–These products can cause explosions that result in the loss of a limb or cause your limb to get caught and severed. Whenever a design defect or other problem leads to a partial or total amputation, you may have a claim against the manufacturer.
  • Medical negligence – the failure to appropriately treat a medical condition may result in a need for amputation.
