- Loss of Limb Injury Claims in AZ
Each year, thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur throughout Arizona. Often, these accidents leave passenger occupants, bikers and pedestrians with injuries. At times, accident victims will lose a limb in these collisions.
When two vehicles crash into each other, the impact of the crash can be violent. The crash impact can cause occupants to suffer a loss of limb. Broken glass can cause the driver or passenger to lose a limb. During the crash, vehicle windows can shatter causing shards of glass to fly throughout the car. The glass can cut occupants and penetrate their nerves and arteries. When an individual’s limb has been severely injured, the limb may have to be amputated to keep the occupant from bleeding to death.
If you or a family member has lost a limb during a car accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your losses. In Arizona, an accident victim may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages and property damage. Contact an experienced attorney to discuss your legal options.

Treatment for a Loss of Limb
If it is necessary for an individual’s limb to be amputated, a doctor will schedule the surgery. Depending on how severe the injury is, the surgery can be a simple operation or a complex one.
Once the surgery has been completed, the patient may need additional medical treatment and oversight. For example, an injury victim may have a prosthetic limb built for them. Prosthetic limbs allow accident victims more functionality.
Even if an injury victim does not receive a prosthetic limb, they will still likely need physical therapy to help to rebuild the strength in their limb. Additionally, occupational therapy may be prescribed to help patients re-learn ordinary tasks.
Sometimes accident victims who lose a limb may require therapy to handle the psychological impact of the vehicle crash. Many Arizona accident victims find that the emotional aftermath of an accident is difficult to do alone. Therefore, many passenger occupants involved in car crashes seek medical care to treat the following post-accident emotions:
- Depression
- Denial
- Grief
- Anxiety
- Suicidal thoughts
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Speaking with a medical professional may help accident victims to learn to manage with their new injury. Those who do seek this type of care find that they are may have a more optimal recovery.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash resulting in a loss of limb, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and any other associated costs. Phillips Law Group is prepared to help you to seek this compensation. Contact our Phoenix office to learn more.
