Amputation

We are proud to have been appointed to the Limbloss Legal Panel for the South West.

Managing your life after amputation can be challenging for you and for those around you. Our team of specialist solicitors are experienced in amputation injury claims and will support you in the immediate aftermath of the injury and assist you to plan for your life thereafter.  

What can we do for you?

If you are entitled to compensation we will liaise with third party insurers and arrange for an independent immediate-needs assessment as soon as possible. This can result in swift alterations to your home and the supply of suitable equipment to enable you to quickly return to independently managing your life.

In most cases interim payments that help alleviate financial hardship and allow you to concentrate on your recuperation and rehabilitation can also be obtained at an early stage.

We have developed relationships with leading experts and barristers in the field through our experience with various types of lower and upper limb amputation injury.  In order to fully investigate the consequences of the injury on your life and maximise the value of compensation due to you, we generally need to involve some of the following experts:

  • Orthopaedic Surgeon
  • Consultant Psychiatrist
  • Prosthetic Expert
  • Architect (in respect of home alterations)
  • Occupational Therapist
  • Rehabilitation Specialist
  • Employment Consultant

Types of prostheses

The level of NHS prosthetic provision nationally is patchy.

For maximum mobility and comfort you are entitled to state of the art prosthetic provision both for every day life activities and leisure and sporting activities (cycling, swimming or skiing for example).

Various types of prostheses are available according to the type and level of amputation. The foremost concern is comfort of the socket, followed by the function of the limb and the type of finish required.

We can assist you in choosing a supplier, and ensure that all the costs - for fitting, supply, maintenance and future replacements - are paid by the third party insurer. The costs linked to prostheses are considerable therefore this is a central issue in maximising your future comfort, mobility and, if appropriate, confidence in the cosmetic appearance of the artificial limb.

On 31 May we held an amputation training day with our co-sponsor 12 Kings Bench Walk www.12kbw.co.uk

Please see our film of this event below.

We would be very happy to assist you on any amputation related matters.
