Workplace and Machinery Amputations: Crush Injuries That Lead to Limb Loss<\/h2>\n

A machine amputation is not a bad cut. It is the permanent loss of a finger, hand, arm, foot, or leg. Or it is a crush or degloving injury so severe that surgeons cannot save the limb. It changes how you work, move, dress, drive, and support your family for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n

If a machine took part of your body, you face hard days ahead. That may mean emergency surgery, more surgeries later, prosthetic fittings, and years of therapy. This page explains how these injuries happen. It explains why they are usually preventable. And it explains what legal options you may have \u2014 including options beyond workers’ compensation. For the full overview, see our amputation and limb-loss injury claims<\/a> pillar page.<\/p>\n

Catastrophic limb loss vs. a minor machine injury: what this page covers<\/h2>\n

We want to be honest with you up front. This page is for catastrophic, permanent limb loss<\/strong>. It is not for a cut that heals or a jammed finger that recovers. There is a real difference, and it matters for your case:<\/p>\n
