Law Society Accredited  Personal Injury Solicitors

Our specialist Amputation Solicitors are experts in making successful injury claims for amputations caused by an accident or where a body part, such as an arm or leg, is amputated in surgery following an accident.

Please contact the serious injury claims team at PSR Solicitors for a free initial consultation by calling the freephone number at the top of this page, or by completing the online enquiry form.

We'll manage the entire process for you. From handling the Amputation Claim for your injury, recovering lost earnings and arranging private medical treatment from rehabilitation and counselling.

We're always determined to secure the optimal compensation package to get life back on track for our clients. Amputation is one of the most severe, often life-changing injuries that someone can be forced to deal with.

Our expert Amputation Solicitors have helped countless people over the years, and we are specifically knowledgeable in the needs of ongoing care packages for people who have suffered amputations caused by a traumatic accident.  Pursuing justice in the best way to make provision for your immediate and future needs is not something that you must handle on your own.

Loss of Limb Compensation Calculator

What do Amputation Claims compensate for?

The value of Amputation Compensation Claims for injuries resulting in the loss of an arm, leg, hand, or foot depends on several important factors. These include the extent of the amputation, the injured person’s age, and their ability to continue working. Other considerations may involve the individual’s profession, the need for home or vehicle adaptations to ensure a comfortable and independent life, and whether they have dependants who rely on them financially.

For some, life may continue pretty much as it did before the accident; however, for others, losing a limb can have devastating consequences for their lives.

Consideration has to be given to providing help around the home, prostheses, home and vehicle adaptation, and perhaps even professional re-training in a different area of employment. Amputation Claims of this nature often take many years to conclude as the extent of the effects of the injury are only known once the injured person has learnt to cope with their disability.

Securing the maximum financial settlement won’t remove the pain or trauma you have experienced, nor will it repair the injuries you suffered in full, but successful, high-value Amputation Claims payout could be crucial and fundamental to your best chances of recovery and it will protect you from any financial disadvantage. It will allow you to access the very best treatments, services, and medical professionals that will combine to help you come to terms with your injury and begin to live independently again.

By seeking the expertise of trusted legal professionals you are giving yourself the best chance of a successful Amputation Compensation Claim and receiving every penny you deserve.

Your Amputation Claim settlement is there as recompense for what has happened to you and will cover costs including:

  • Your pain & suffering
  • Medical treatments and support
  • Rehabilitation therapies
  • Counselling
  • Specialist equipment including the most innovative and advanced prosthetics
  • Adaptations to your home to help you remain as independent as possible
  • Loss of earnings both now and in the future
  • Additional expenses including travel to and from hospital appointments

For more information on the level of 'general damages', you might expect to receive as part of your claim settlement, and if you have suffered an amputation injury through a no-fault accident, see our  Loss of Limb Compensation Calculator guide.

Injuries resulting in Traumatic or Surgical Amputation

Injuries resulting in surgical amputation are completely life-changing and are often the most difficult to come to terms with. They can affect mobility and independence and make it impossible to carry on with life as it was before. It is understandable therefore that injuries of this nature are amongst the most traumatic and distressing.

This type of amputation is frequently the consequence of serious accidents including:

  • Road traffic accidents
  • Accidents at work
  • Falling from a height
  • Military involvement

It is imperative that you receive maximum support from the outset in order to receive swift and vital treatment to put you on the road to recovery and to protect both your physical and mental well-being.

Our experienced Amputation Claims Solicitors can help you with a wide range of compensation claims such as:

  • Leg amputation
  • Hand amputation
  • Foot amputation
  • Arm Amputation
  • Finger Amputation
  • Amputation of more than one arm, leg, hand or foot

Your questions answered

If you have suffered an amputation, and you believe that it was caused by the fault or negligence of someone else, then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Loss of limb compensation amounts are generally much greater than those awarded for other serious harm due to the severity, permanence and impact of the injuries, which will last a lifetime.

The amount of compensation that you are eligible to receive will be dependent on a number of factors including the extent of your injuries, the full impact on you and your loved ones, whether you can continue working, how long your recovery is likely to take and all the financial implications of what has happened to you.

For free advice from professional Amputation Solicitors then please get in touch by completing the enquiry form, or call our freephone number at the top of this page.

Pursuing a compensation claim can feel daunting and overwhelming, particularly after everything you have already been through. Financial recompense however is essential to your recovery and we are here to help make everything as easy and straightforward as possible for you.

From the moment of your initial enquiry we are here to offer guidance and support. We will gather the details of where and how the injury occurred, how you have been affected and the long-term prognosis for your injuries. We will need details such as who else was involved and whether there were any witnesses. We will then be able to advise on how likely it is that your claim will be successful and how much compensation you can expect to receive.

We understand that these conversations may be difficult and upsetting for you. We will go at a pace you are comfortable with and will never put pressure on you or make you feel rushed. We can carry out face-to-face appointments with you at home or in hospital and will do everything we can to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

 

Accidents in the workplace are one of the most common causes of serious injury where amputation is the consequence. We frequently represent clients who have been injured while using heavy machinery or equipment such as on building sites or in factories and also those who have been injured as the result of chemical spills in laboratories or on industrial plants.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is clear about your employer’s responsibility to provide a safe working environment, including adequate training, supervision, equipment and protective clothing. If your employer has not met their responsibilities then you may be able to pursue a claim against them.

Many people worry about losing their jobs as a result of making a personal injury claim, but the law is on your side and you are fully protected. It is illegal for your employer to make you redundant, harass you or create a hostile environment that makes you want to leave your job.

We can advise you on these matters to put your mind at ease and will support you at all stages.

Amputation Claims settlement amounts

Compensation in personal injury claims is determined under two categories; general damages and special damages. General damages is compensation awarded for the physical pain and suffering, mental pain and anguish and lower quality of life caused as a result of the physical injury itself.  Special damages are awarded to cover all of the actual expenses incurred due to the accident such as medical expenses, travel costs, medication costs and loss of income.

While special damages will vary depending on individual circumstances, there are some basic guidelines set out for general damages related to injuries of a similar nature.
