TACOMA Workplace Amputation Injury ATTORNEY
Understanding Amputation Injuries in the Workplace in Washington State
Amputation injuries are among the most severe and life-altering workplace injuries an employee can endure. At McCarthy Law Offices, we understand the profound impact such injuries have on your life, not only physically and emotionally but also financially. Workers who suffer amputations face unique challenges, including long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and significant lifestyle adjustments.
Common Causes of Workplace Amputations
Amputations in the workplace can occur in various industries, though they are more prevalent in sectors involving heavy machinery, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. Common causes include:
- Machinery Accidents: Inadequate safety guards, malfunctioning equipment, or operator error can result in limbs being caught, crushed, or severed.
- Vehicle Accidents: Collisions involving forklifts, trucks, or other heavy equipment can lead to severe injuries necessitating amputation.
- Falls: High falls or slips and trips can lead to traumatic injuries that might require surgical amputation.
- Explosions and Burns: Severe burns or injuries from explosions can cause irreparable damage to limbs.

- Medical Expenses: All necessary medical treatments, surgeries, prosthetics, and rehabilitation costs.
- Temporary Disability Benefits: Compensation for lost wages if you are unable to work temporarily due to your injury.
