Although many of us take the use of our body parts for granted, accidents that result in lost limbs can be life-altering, and the survivors often require ongoing physical, emotional, and financial support long after the incident. Amputation injuries can occur for many reasons, from workplace accidents involving heavy machinery to devastating car accidents involving drivers and pedestrians.

If you or a loved one suffered an injury due to another party’s negligence, then please consult with our compassionate attorneys at Scarlett Law Group to discuss what our firm can do to help you recover maximum compensation for your damages. Our award-winning law firm has a stellar reputation for taking on the most complex and challenging cases involving amputation injuries. We are committed to protecting the rights of clients across the Bay Area who have suffered devastating losses of bodily and life functions due to amputations resulting from negligence.

When limbs or other body parts are amputated during an accident instead of a medical procedure, it is called a traumatic amputation. When the body sustains sharp cuts or severe tears outside of a sterile and controlled hospital setting, it can result in life-threatening complications like severe bleeding and infections.

Common accidents that can result in traumatic amputations include:

• Motorcycle accidents
• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Industrial machinery and equipment accidents
• HAZMAT accidents
• Electrocution accidents
• Falls
• Fires and explosions
• Defective products
• Construction accidents
• Factory accidents
