A serious motor vehicle collision can change one’s life forever in ways that impact every aspect of your day-to-day experience. Injuries suffered in an Atlanta car accident that involve the amputation of a limb or even a finger or toe can be devastating.

An amputation injury from a car accident can result in enormous pain that you may be forced to endure for a prolonged period. If you suffer amputation of a limb, it may also mean long periods of rehabilitation and permanent disability.

Given the high speed of motor vehicles, including increased speed limits, and the heavier weight of many vehicles such as large trucks and SUVs, the force of an Atlanta car accident can be enormous resulting in catastrophic injuries like amputation of one’s arm, leg, foot, hand, toe or finger. An effective medical response can be critical if you suffer an amputation injury in an auto collision because sometimes prompt medical attention can permit the limb or other body part to be reattached. The likelihood that the body part can be reattached will depend on a number of factors including:

  • The duration of time between amputation and obtaining medical care
  • The specific body part that is amputated
  • Your overall medical condition
  • The extent of damage to the severed body part

It is important that medical attention be obtained as quickly as possible because reattaching a limb can minimize the impact on your quality of life. Because amputation injuries may result in long periods of medical care and substantial rehabilitative care, a family can be virtually bankrupted by the medical costs. The financial pressure associated with the staggering medical bills may be compounded by the auto accident victim’s inability to work.
