Car accidents and
truck accidents are, by far, the most common cause of amputations. Because they’re
one of the leading causes of injuries in the United States, it makes sense
that they also cause a large number of amputation injuries. A close second
is workplace accidents, specifically those that occur in industrial and
agricultural settings. These workplace accidents are often caused by poor
training, lack of personal protective equipment, and defective or faulty
machinery or equipment.
