It is an unfortunate fact about motorcycle accidents that they tend to be associated with a higher incidence of catastrophic injury. Much of this is due to the physics of the collision itself - when a very light vehicle is struck by a car or truck, the rider is far more likely to absorb the energy of that collision. But the other half of the equation is the "open air" design of motorcycles themselves, which can be a particular problem if a collision takes place on a busy street where additional injuries can occur once the rider is thrown from his seat.

One of the worst outcomes of a motorcycle accident is traumatic amputation, the legal term given when a rider's finger, toe, arm, leg, or foot is ripped from the body or crushed beyond repair. The medical consequences of a catastrophic injury such as this can be very grave indeed, and the resulting tissue damage loss can lead to a host of further medical problems. As the rider recovers, the other costs kick in: loss of income, loss of earning power, and lost quality of life.

Here in Chicago, the law clearly dictates that a traumatic amputation may result in legal recovery if another party was at fault. In this case, the injury must be proved to have been caused by the negligent or abusive act of another, meaning you will need a competent legal team to make the case. Good defense in a motorcycle accident amputation suit will rely heavily on forensic evidence, expert testimony, and medical records to convince the court of wrongdoing. It is demanding work, and hardly the kind of litigation you want to attempt on your own
