Amputations, Crush and Degloving Injuries
Overview
In the blink of an eye, a machine can wreak havoc on the human body. A 10,000-pound forklift can pulverize a leg. A machine can suck a body part into an improperly guarded pinch point. An out-of-control car can pin a person against a building. The results can be devastating. The loss of a limb, or amputation, is not uncommon. Equally as bad is a degloving injury, when the skin, muscle, tendon and nerves are torn from the bone. These injuries result in a slow and expensive recuperation. When they are the result of someone else’s negligence, that person should bear the cost, not you.
