Loss of Limbs in Houston Car Accidents
Lawyers helping victims of accidental amputation
Car accidents in Houston can result in the loss of an arm or leg. Sometimes, these injuries occur during the accident. Such injuries are known as a "traumatic amputation." Other times, a person's arm or leg needs to be removed later due to the severity of the injuries. That's known as a "surgical amputation."
Losing an arm, a leg or another body part in a motor vehicle accident can be a life-changing experience. And since your injury was likely due to the negligent or reckless behavior of another driver, it's important that you hold them accountable for their actions.
Our dedicated Houston accident attorneys at Tracey Fox & Walters can make sure your rights are respected. We know how the legal system works and what it takes to succeed in such difficult cases. That's why we have such a strong track record. Case results matter here.
Types of injuries sustained in car accidents
Loss of limb injuries are often classified based on where amputation occurred on a person's body. Amputations involving the upper half of the body (arms, hands, etc.) are known as upper limb-amputations.
