Did pirates get money if they lost an arm or leg?

Yes, pirates sometimes received compensation for injuries sustained during their adventures, including losing an arm or leg. This payment often came from a ship's articles, which outlined the distribution of shares among the crew, including provisions for injured members. Additionally, some pirate crews had a system of "injury compensation," where those who lost limbs could receive a one-time payment or an adjusted share of the loot. However, the specifics varied by crew and captain.
