Recent Texas Construction Site Accidents Highlight Risk of Amputation

The thought of amputation is enough to make any construction worker nervous. Most workers in the field have been the victim of an amputation injury or know someone who has. As a result, the threat of an amputation is very real.

 

Two recent Texas workplace accidents have highlighted just how common these injuries are. During both construction accidents, workers suffered from an amputated arm. In the first, doctors in Dallas were able to successfully reattach the limb.

 

The second accident happened when a worker attempted to get down from the platform of an auger. The crew was working in a ditch near Tyler, TX, with the auger being used to dig through dirt to repair a pipe. The man's arm was completely severed by the machine and both he and his limb were sent to the nearest hospital.

 

Amputees Face a Long Road to Recovery

 

While some body parts are successfully reattached, others are too badly damaged. Amputees are often unable to work in the construction industry and face a long and painful recovery. Even when a limb can be reattached, it may have limited mobility or sensation.

 

Our concern, as Dallas construction injury lawyers, is that hurt workers will not be properly compensated for their injuries. If you have been hurt in a construction site accident in Dallas, do NOT accept an offer of compensation without speaking with an experienced, aggressive Dallas work injury lawyer. Time is of the essence. Call 1.877.290.1382 today for a free consultation with a Dallas personal injury lawyer at Guajardo & Marks LLP.
