Amputation injury claims

Introduction and overview

When you lose a limb, it is a life changing event. Having acted for many clients over the years we know how difficult dealing with an amputation and the consequences can be for you and your family. 

The most common causes of an amputation are:

  • road traffic accident  
  • accident at school
  • accident in the playground
  • medical negligence

If you or a family member have lost a limb and you believe it could have been avoided, you may be able to make a claim. It’s important to talk to solicitors that are experienced in this type of work to discuss your situation. 

How our amputation injury law solicitors can help you

Rehabilitation and suitable prosthesis are vitally important in aiding your recovery and ability to live independently. These costs, as well as home adaptations that might be needed, will form a major part of the compensation. Settlements and financial awards for children tend to be especially high as the prostheses are expensive and have to be replaced regularly.

We can also support you by providing advice and help in getting early access to rehabilitation to give you a better chance of recovery from your injuries. If responsibility is admitted early, then we can ask for interim payments from the defendants before the claim is finalised to give you access to treatment as soon as possible.
