About amputation claims

Medical accidents such as delayed diagnosis, surgical errors or failure to notice infections can sometimes result in amputation, often where the removal of limbs was needed in order to stay alive.

Making an amputation claim is the first step to helping you seek justice and get the specialist care you need for recovery. Our team of medical negligence lawyers have many experience in specialist amputation cases. We can help you regain the independence you deserve with rehabilitation, helping to cover lost earnings, or to pay for specialist care.

We support with seeking additional care such as physiotherapy, mental health support, prosthetics and home adaptations to help with lifestyle changes and independent living.

How our amputation lawyers can help

Our amputation solicitors can support you or your family with legal advice following the loss of a limb. When handling complex amputation injury cases, we work with expert medical advisers to ensure we fully understand the impact of amputation on your life both physically and emotionally.

Our team have successfully secured multimillion pound compensation awards for clients with amputation claims, including misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, surgical errors and improper management of chronic conditions.

We prioritise your recovery. Pursuing a claim can help pay for quality prosthetics, suitable wheelchairs or vehicles, ongoing physical support and adapting your existing home, helping you live your life much easier.

Your key concerns about amputation claims

Claiming for amputation from medical negligence can feel overwhelming. We know that no amount of compensation can replace what has been lost, but it will go a long way towards making life easier and more comfortable. Before you claim, you might be worried about the length of the process, the cost of legal fees, or if the settlement you receive will cover the long-term needs for rehabilitation.

In appropriate cases, it may be possible to seek interim payments from the defendant to help meet immediate rehabilitation, care or accommodation needs while the claim is ongoing.

We are transparent about costs from the start, and will provide you with the best possible options to pursue an amputation claim. If we can help you, we will explain costs clearly and the options available to you, including no-win-no-fee funding arrangements. If your life has changed due to amputation, we’re here to help you move forward by securing the justice and financial security you’re entitled to.
