As a firm of solicitors specialising in personal injury compensation claims, we have experience representing clients who have had some very serious accidents. Amputation is one of the most serious injuries that our personal injury solicitors deal with, and such serious accidents are likely to lead to much more complex claims than less serious injuries. At Camps Solicitors we believe we have the expertise to bring your amputation accident claim to a successful conclusion, ensuring that you get compensation that reflects the impact of your injuries on your life.
Amputation refers to the removal of a body extremity, which can be done either in post accident surgery, or in particularly serious accidents the body part may be literally torn off. This kind of injury is most common in high speed road traffic accidents, particularly involving motorbikes, or industrial accidents involving heavy machinery. Certain pre-existing medical conditions can also leave people more at risk of amputation, including diabetics and people with poor circulation.
An accident that requires amputation will often attract more compensation as amputation is seen to have both a physical and a psychological impact on victims. Additionally, your compensation would also reflect any adaptations that were needed to your house, to provide easy access ramps to people who required the use of a wheel chair as well as stair and bath lifts. In such cases it may be useful to commission an independent expert to advise what modifications are needed to your home or car, as in most cases you can claim for the cost of these from the person or persons responsible for your accident.
Camps Solicitors deal with all levels of road accident and personal injury claims, and several of our clients cases have been valued at over £100,000.
