Amputation Compensation Solicitor - Personal Injury Claims

Our personal injury solicitors deal with amputation compensation claims caused by traumatic injury arising from accidents caused by the negligence of a third party. To settle a claim for amputation compensation it is necessary to show that the driver responsible for causing the accident was negligent :-

“Negligence is the omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided upon those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do, or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do.”

Compensation

A traumatic amputation is a life threatening event that can have devastating long term consequences. Whilst reattachment s sometimes a possibility, regaining full function is an entirely different matter and most reattachments result in mainly cosmetic benefit. Amputation compensations claims are intended to put the victim back into the position that they were in prior to the accident however clearly in the case of a lost limb this is a fatuous proposition but what amputation compensation will do is make everyday life a little easier for the victim. Damages for personal injury in amputation compensation claims are divided into two distinct categories :-

• Assessment is required for some categories of amputation compensation including calculation of the value of pain and suffering and lifestyle changes. Assessment is carried out by a judge and is based both on decisions made in similar previous cases and on the judges own experience as a working lawyer.

• Calculation is appropriate in amputation compensation claims where there are quantifiable losses that can be mathematically established without the need for human intervention by assessment. These items cover all reasonable losses than can be proved by documentary evidence such as wage slips, estimates and invoices and also include future losses that can be projected forward based on current evidence. Items in this category are wages loss, care and assistance, personal property damage, adaption to accommodation & transport, healthcare equipment & mobilty aids and all reasonably incurred expenses & loss.
