A limb damage or amputation claim is a type of legal claim for compensation after you’ve suffered an injury to your limb due to somebody else’s negligence. Some of the most common types of limb injuries can include:
If it’s proven during the claims process that someone else is at fault, you may be entitled to make a claim. For example, this could be due to negligence at work, medical negligence, a road traffic accident or an injury in a public setting where health and safety measures have not been met.
Limb damage or loss compensation can cover a number of costs related to your injury, including:
We understand how debilitating limb damage can be, and how life-altering amputation is. That’s why we’re determined to seek justice and provide compensation to ensure your basic needs are covered, and you’re fully compensated for your accident.
You typically have up to three years from the date of the accident, or from the date a medical professional diagnosed your injuries, to make a limb loss claim for compensation.
For those under the age of 18, the three years do not usually begin until the child has turned 18. This means a claim can be brought at any point up to their 21st birthday.
However, seeking out an amputation claim solicitor as early as possible ensures your case has the strongest chance of success.
Amputation and limb damage can happen in many different situations. We regularly help clients bring claims following:
Including injuries caused by machinery, unsafe equipment, poor training or lack of protective gear.
Where a collision has led to the loss of a limb or serious damage to an arm, hand, leg or foot.
Such as delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, infections or mistakes that result in limb damage or amputation.
For example, slips, trips or crush injuries caused by unsafe environments in shops, streets or other public spaces.
Where another person’s actions have directly caused serious limb injury.
If someone else was responsible for what happened, you may be entitled to claim compensation. We understand how overwhelming things can feel. Our dedicated amputation injury lawyers will guide you through each step of the claims process with clarity and care. Let us take the pressure off and help you move forward with confidence.
An amputation or serious limb injury can affect every part of your life, from your ability to work to your independence and mental wellbeing. A successful claim can give you the financial security you need to adapt and move forward.
Compensation can cover the income you have already lost and the money you may be unable to earn in the future because of your injury.
You may be able to access private treatment, physiotherapy and specialist rehabilitation to support your recovery and improve your quality of life.
A claim can help pay for prosthetic limbs, mobility aids and other equipment you need to live as independently as possible.
Compensation can fund changes to your home or car, such as ramps, lifts or adapted controls, to make everyday life safer and easier.
The mental impact of limb damage or amputation can be just as serious as the physical injury. A claim can cover counselling and other support for anxiety, depression or trauma.
Most importantly, compensation allows you to focus on healing without the added pressure of worrying about money.
We keep the process clear and supportive, so you can focus on your recovery while we take care of the legal side.

You may be eligible if you have received a limb injury or loss of limb due to someone else’s negligence or actions. To be eligible for compensation, it’s essential to demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their actions directly caused your injury.
Consulting an amputation injury solicitor can help assess your case’s eligibility.
Every limb injury or amputation claim is unique, and the amount of compensation that is awarded can vary significantly. To work out your compensation amount, various factors will be assessed, including the severity of injury, the impact on day-to-day life, the effects on your ability to work and medical costs, including prosthetics and specialist equipment.
Your amputation injury solicitor will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimation of your compensation, as well as guide you through the process with care.
“No-win, no-fee” means you won’t pay us anything unless we win your case.
There are no upfront costs and no hidden charges. If your claim is unsuccessful, you won’t owe us a penny. If we win, our fees will be taken from the compensation we recover for you — and we’ll explain all of this clearly before you sign anything.
It’s a simple promise: if you don’t win, you don’t pay.

An amputation claim solicitor can help identify and gather the right evidence for your situation, easing the burden during an already difficult time.
In most cases, you will not need to go to court, as most amputation and limb injury claims are settled outside of court through negotiation between your solicitor and the insurance company of the party responsible for the injury.
If an agreement cannot be reached, however, the claim may proceed to court. If this happens, your expert amputation injury lawyer will guide you through the process and handle the legal steps on your behalf.
Every case is different – meaning, each resolution period differs, too. If the defendant admits liability, the claim could be resolved, and you could receive compensation within a few months.
However, for more complicated cases – such as disputes over medical evidence or neglect – this could be longer.
