Proving a Crush Injury Led to Amputation: Evidence That Strengthens Your Case<\/h2>\n

To win a crush injury amputation claim, you must prove two separate things: that someone else’s negligence caused the crushing force, and that the crush injury \u2014 not a treatment choice or a pre-existing problem \u2014 is what cost you the limb. That second link, called causation, is where these cases are won or lost.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you love lost a limb after a serious crush injury, you’re likely overwhelmed by surgeries, rehab, and a future that looks nothing like it did before. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what evidence ties an amputation to the wrongdoing \u2014 and why the days after the injury matter more than most people realize.<\/p>\n\n

What counts as a crush injury<\/h2>\n

A crush injury happens when a body part is compressed by heavy force or trapped between or under objects, destroying muscle, nerve, and blood supply at the same time. It is not a bruise or a pinch \u2014 in this context we mean trauma severe enough to threaten or destroy the limb.<\/p>\n
