Amputation Negligence Claims
HPA Solicitors specialises in amputation negligence claims for clients throughout the UK. We understand that losing a limb changes everything, regardless of the circumstances. But when it’s the result of medical mistakes, victims suffer far more than just physical trauma.
Many deal with emotional stress, financial worry, and questions about their futures. But if poor medical care led to your amputation, you have rights. Our lawyers focus on helping people who have suffered amputations due to medical negligence. We understand the legal side of amputation cases and collaborate with medical experts who can clearly explain what went wrong.
This helps us build strong cases for our clients. Your claim will get our full attention and care, so let us handle the legal work while you focus on adapting to your new reality.
Types of Amputation Negligence Claims We Handle
Medical negligence resulting in amputation can happen in many ways. Each type of case needs a different legal approach. Our amputation negligence solicitors know how to handle the following common situations and more:
- Delayed Diagnosis – When doctors fail to spot serious conditions early, treatment may come too late. Infections, blood clots, or cancer might spread beyond repair. By the time treatment starts, amputation may be the only remaining option.
- Surgical Errors – Mistakes during operations can damage blood vessels or nerves, and poor surgical technique might cause infections that don’t heal. Sometimes, surgeons operate on the wrong limb entirely.
- Medication Mistakes – Wrong medicines or doses can cause severe reactions. Some drugs might affect blood flow to limbs, while others may cause tissue death if administered incorrectly.
- Poor Post-Operative Care – After surgery, patients need proper monitoring. Failing to spot complications early can lead to serious problems. Infections that could be treated might require amputation if ignored.
- Misdiagnosis – When doctors get the diagnosis wrong, patients don’t receive proper treatment. The real condition worsens while they receive treatment for something else.
Understanding Your Right to Amputation Negligence Compensation
UK law says medical professionals must meet certain standards. When they don’t, and you get hurt, they must pay compensation. The amount of amputation negligence compensation varies depending on which limb you lost, how it affects your life, and your personal circumstances. However, it should cover:
- Medical Costs – You can claim for all medical expenses related to your compensation. This includes hospital bills, medicines, and ongoing treatment. It also covers prosthetic limbs and their maintenance.
- Lost Earnings – If you can’t work the same way as before, compensation will cover lost income. This includes past losses and future earnings you’ll miss.
- Care and Assistance – Many people need help with daily tasks after amputation. Compensation can pay for care workers or equipment that helps you maintain your independence.
- Pain and Suffering – The law recognises how much amputation affects one’s quality of life and assigns compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Home Changes – Your home might need changes or updates to make it accessible. You can include ramps, bathroom changes, or other modifications in your claim.
