Crush Injury
Did Someone Else’s Actions Result In Your Injury?
Crush injuries often cause considerable damage to victims – in many cases, doctors may need to amputate the affected area to effectively treat the destroyed body part. These types of injuries often happen when some part of the body is trapped between two objects and pressed down on with a considerable amount of force. The most common causes include collapsing structures, car crashes, falling objects, etc. However your crush injury happened, the important thing to do is seek immediate medical treatment in order to prevent any unnecessary complications.

Crush Syndrome
Crush syndrome is one of the most dangerous issues a victim of a crush injury and their doctors need to watch out for. When skeletal muscle is crushed in an accident, muscle breakdown products like myoglobin, potassium and phosphorous can be released into the bloodstream, which can lead to major shock and renal failure. Without immediate medical treatment, this could lead to further complications and even death.
