Amputation and Limb Loss
Amputation can cover anything from the loss of an entire arm down to a single toe. Any form of limb loss can be emotionally traumatic and, in the most serious cases, life altering. For you to be able to make a claim for compensation the loss must be as a result of a negligent action or inaction. The compensation you receive will reflect the impact the loss has had on your life. This takes into account things such as employment prospects, adaptations needed to your house as well as your pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment.
An amputation, or the loss of a limb, can occur in a number of scenarios:
- A road traffic accident – as the driver, passenger or a pedestrian
- An infection gained from handling a dangerous substance at work or in the public domain
- An accident at work, usually involving dangerous machinery
- Surgically removed or any other serious injury that renders the limb useless
Foot Anstey realise the effects of such an injury can be devastating; both emotionally and physically. The personal injury team hopes to alleviate some of this stress during the progress of your claim by providing effective legal advice and assistance with the rehabilitation. Indeed, Foot Anstey, through years of experience in managing such claims, has developed strong charity links with local rehabilitation units, and prosthetic manufacturers. If you would like to explore the possibility of making a claim then please contact us.
