At Charles J. Argento, our Houston amputation and crush injury lawyers understand the life-changing result of losing the ability to use a limb, or the limb itself. Unfortunately, there are many day-to-day occurrences that can lead to severe trauma to the limbs.
Whether it is workplace injury caused by faulty machinery, an oil and gas industry explosion, or a vehicle collision, crushed limbs often require amputation, which leaves our Texas clients physically, emotionally, and financially traumatized.
If you have suffered a crush injury or the need for amputation after an accident caused by negligence, contact our skilled Houston personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal rights and options to pursue the liable party for your full financial recovery.
What are the Most Common Causes of Amputations and Crush Injuries in Texas?
There is no limit to the types of negligence that can lead to crush injuries and amputations in Texas.
However, some of the more common traumatic events that can lead to these significant injuries may include, but are not limited to:
If your life has been changed by a crushed limb or another body part or if you had to have a part of your body amputated because of another person or party’s negligence, contact our experienced personal injury lawyer in Houston today to get the help you need to take back control of your life.
What is the Long-Term Impact of Crush Injuries and Amputations on Accident Victims?
Amputation is a major health burden on both the individual who loses his or her limb, and his or her family, as it impacts the injury victim’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
While the surgery itself is physically catastrophic, the sudden requirement is also emotionally devastating for the victims.
Once the procedure is completed, and medical care continues to ensure proper healing, amputation presents multi-directional challenges.
It affects the survivor’s function, sensation, and body image, leaving the amputee with a predominant feeling of loss, which can impact their self-image, career, and relationships.
A National Library of Medicine study reported approximately 30% of amputees are troubled by depression, which can lead to increased dependency and significant levels of social isolation.
Each of these factors must be considered when our personal injury attorney is pursuing the liable party for our client’s full financial recovery, so they are never left paying for these extraordinary expenses out of their own pockets.
That is why we are here. We provide all Texas accident survivors with the legal resources they need to pursue the best financial outcome for their unique cases. We can do the same for you and your family, starting with a free consultation today.
