Amputation negligence compensation claim

Sometimes medical accidents sadly lead to an amputation and to lose a lower or upper limb will be a devastating injury.

It affects not only the individual involved but also their immediate friends and family. Amputations will lead to independence and mobility being compromised, which we understand is very difficult to come to terms with.

Understanding amputation claims

We specialise in representing people who have suffered very serious injuries such as an amputation. We have an in-depth medical knowledge of this type of injury and work alongside eminent medical and other experts to ensure we fully understand what injuries our client has suffered and the full impact of their lives.  We also work and partner with organisations who help individuals with amputations such as The Sepsis Trust and work together to support clients who find themselves in this situation. 

Compensation will never bring normality to an amputee’s life again but it will make life a lot easier for them and their families enabling them to consider options for:

  • Buying a more suitable vehicle
  • Buying a quality prosthesis or multiple prosthetics, depending on lifestyle requirements 
  • Buying a quality and suitable wheelchair that meets the practicalities of day-to-day life
  • Obtaining ongoing rehabilitation, support, aids and equipment
  • Arranging for more suitable accommodation or adapting existing homes
