Amputations

At Blake Lapthorn solicitors, we will pursue compensation for you if you have suffered medical negligence, and that negligence caused you injury. Failures in medical treatment sometimes mean that the only treatment option left for the patient is amputation. Personal injury claims for amputations resulting from clinical negligence can recover very large sums of compensation.

We claim compensation for the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused by the injury, as well as compensation for financial losses. The claim for financial losses includes expenses, lost earnings, care, special equipment and, if appropriate, the cost of suitable transport and accommodation. Prosthetics are claimed for at private rates, so that you have the best chance of a cosmetically attractive prosthesis, and good functionality.

Clinical or medical negligence resulting in amputations may be caused by:

accidental amputations
amputation complications
negligent treatment of trauma, including fractures
infected surgical metal work in orthopaedics
non-union of fractures
damage to major arteries during surgery
incorrect management of peripheral vascular disease
arterial trauma during cannulation for investigations and monitoring
failures in interventional radiology
failures to diagnose arterial damage or blood clots and intervene in time

The seriousness of amputation cases arising from clinical negligence needs expert advice on funding, care assessment, pursuing liability and correctly quantifying the claims. Blake Lapthorn solicitors is one of the best legal firms to provide that expert advice, and help you recover compensation.
