What can cause an amputation injury?

Amputations can result from various serious accidents and incidents, including:

Car Accidents (severe injuries from the collision)
Workplace Incidents (injuries from machinery, tools, or hazardous work environments)
Vulnerable road user accidents (pedestrian, cyclists, motorcyclists)

What is the time limit to make an amputation injury claim?

In most cases, you have up to three years from the date of the accident or the date you became aware that your injury was related to the accident to file an amputation claim.

There are however instances when the time limit can be different. This applies to:

Children

When the injured person is a child under the age of 18, their parents or legal guardians can make a claim for them up until they turn 18. After that, they have three more years to submit their claim for themselves, until their 21st birthday.

Mental capacity

If the injured individual does not have the mental ability to file a claim, there is no time restriction for them until they regain that capacity.

Date of Knowledge

Make sure to consult with a specialist firm such as Accident Solicitors Direct to understand the specific deadlines which apply to your case.

Filing an amputation claim can be intimidating, but thorough preparation can greatly increase your likelihood of success.

Testimonials

They were extremely professional and handled my case with care. Grace Newbold was amazing throughout, communicating with me all the way through and offering exceptional support in a time that was enormously daunting and scary. I was quick to receive medical help including physio therapy. The 2 years my claim was going on Grace and the team provided a service that was outstanding, in a time that was extremely hard for me. I would recommend ASD highly and will be referring anyone who is needing their services. Thank you again to ASD and Grace for supporting me through a difficult time and doing this with professionalism, care and compassion.

Grace Chapman, Sheffield – Client of Solicitor, Grace Newbold

Professional, Highly Recommended I was recommended ASD from a family member. I am so pleased I followed this up. Chris Chappell has been so professional, caring, understanding and honest throughout the process. It has meant a lot.

It’s been one of the hardest times for me, especially losing my job as well, whilst off work and in a pandemic. It has taught me a lot about companies, but it has also made me realise companies like yours are there to help.

I had never been in this position before and it was a very hard time for me.

Amputation Injury Claim Frequently Asked Questions

What does head and brain injury compensation cover?

Medical Expenses
Loss of Earnings
Pain and Suffering
Lifestyle Adjustments
Travel Expenses
Equipment for Adjustment
Care Needed

How much compensation can you receive for the loss of a limb?

Amputation compensations are usually high due to the extent of consequences it has on a person’s life.
The amount of compensation you can get varies based on factors such as the severity of your injury, the impact on your life, and the circumstances of the accident. Our solicitors will work to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.

Can I make a no-win, no-fee amputation claim?

Yes, we offer no-win, no-fee agreements for amputation claims. This means you do not have to worry about legal fees until we successfully secure compensation for you.

Who pays the compensation in a no-win, no-fee amputation claim?

If your claim is successful, the compensation is usually paid by the insurance company of the party found to be at fault for the injury.

This could be an employer’s liability insurance in the case of a workplace accident or a car’s insurance company for a traffic accident. In case of an accident in a public space, the responsible party will be the one found responsible for your accident.
