What is an amputation compensation claim?

An amputation compensation claim is a legal claim for damages brought by a person who has suffered an amputation due to someone else’s fault or negligence.

Our team at Phoenix Legal Solicitors is fully equipped to deal with claims where a loved one has passed away or are no longer capable of bringing a claim themselves due to the devastating effects of Medical Negligence.

We ensure that all claims are dealt with professionally and are always available to provide support, care and guidance to the representatives and family members who we recognise are often largely indirectly affected.

We are also able to help you bring a claim for a minor on their behalf as, by law, they are unable to represent themselves.

Medical Negligence Claims, including amputation claims, are often complex and require expert evidence. This may lead to delays within the claim process.

It is important that the claimant is aware of these potential delays and informed that, where severe harm has been suffered, there may be an increased likelihood that delays will be incurred.

Those bringing a claim in Medical Negligence can do so against :

  1. Private Health Care Services, and
  2. the National Health Service (NHS).

When bringing a claim against Private Health Care Services, it is important to note that all Private Health Care Services are covered by liability insurance. The insurers are responsible for covering any compensation awarded to you.

In the event that a claim is brought against the NHS, all compensation orders will be paid by the National Health Service Resolution funded by the taxpayer to provide for those who are owed compensation where Medical Negligence has occurred.

No compensation order is payable from the NHS budget.
