Amputations tend to be more expensive to treat than other injuries because
they require more medical resources and related costs. For example, following
the amputation, the victim may need to be hospitalized for a certain length
of time and undergo physical therapy and rehabilitation. All of these
costs add up, and though there are many factors that must be considered
to determine how much an amputation will cost, they tend to add up to
tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
