We have helped many patients claim for personal injury and medical negligence, and are well-connected within the injury community to others who can help you gain back a sense of independence following your injury.
Contact us nowLosing a limb is one of the most difficult things a person can go through, and we understand the need for appropriate guidance, ongoing care, and support and help from others who may have experienced a similar injury.
As experts in personal injury and medical negligence claims, we understand the confusion that can arise with making claims and how the process works. In addition to seeking compensation for the amputation injury itself, we work with amputees to help provide legal assistance in terms of prosthesis, employment issues, rehabilitation, vehicle adaptations and home adaptations. Ultimately, we want to make sure you feel supported and safe when taking legal action for your injuries.
Call us free today to see how we can help you understand your options on 0808 164 0808, or request a call back if you’d like one of our no-win, no-fee experts to call you.
We are usually able to offer no win, no fee agreements (also known as Conditional Fee Arrangements (CFAs)) to our personal injury clients. In ‘no win, no fee’ agreements there are no up-front costs for you and if you don’t win, we don’t get paid.

We can help you secure compensation to aid your recovery, focusing on your rehabilitation. Below are some examples of where we can help:
Unfortunately, there can be circumstances where an amputation is required as a result of medical negligence. Our serious injury team works closely with our medical negligence team to make sure anyone who needs our help with this type of claim is given the appropriate legal advice and support.
Below we’ve listed some examples of medical negligence amputation claims:
Ischemia is the restriction or loss of blood supply, which can be caused by an obstruction or narrowing in your blood vessels.
If you suffer a delay in the diagnosis and/or treatment of critical limb ischemia, then this can cause permanent damage to the part of the body (i.e. the foot or leg) where there has been a sustained lack of blood supply.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, where your immune system ‘over-reacts’ to any infection in your body. Unfortunately, one of the complications of sepsis is damage to upper and lower body limbs, which need to be amputated.
Meningitis unfortunately can occur in both adults and in newborns or infants. A delay in diagnosing this infection can also lead to damage to limbs and an amputation may be necessary to prevent additional damage.
Diabetes is associated with several different medical problems, including the inability of bodily wounds and sores to heal properly. If these wounds are not correctly managed by the appropriate specialists, then it can lead to that part of the limb being amputated.
In general you have three years from the date of injury or reasonable knowledge of injury to bring a compensation claim. There are some exceptions to this rule for instance where the matter involves a child in which case the child has three years from the date of their 18th birthday to bring a claim, therefore expiring on the individual’s 21st birthday.
It is important to speak to a legal team as early as possible to avoid any issues with limitation dates.
