Chicago Lawyers: Amputation Injuries

In the United States, approximately 1.9 million people are living with the loss of a limb. One out of every 200 people in the U.S. has had an amputation, according to a study published by Vital and Health Statistics.

Most amputations are related to disease, especially those that impair blood circulation. However, traumatic injuries, such as those that occur in motor vehicle crashes, account for a significant number of amputations.

Males are at significantly higher risk than females for amputations due to trauma, according to the National Limb Loss Information Center. The risk of traumatic amputation increases with age and reaches its highest point among people 85 or older.
