Amputation claims can involve anything from the loss of one or both legs or arms through to the loss of a finger or toe.   The results can range from life-changing and traumatic with long term pain, to painful in the short term and inconvenient but surmountable in the long term.

Traumatic amputation – This is the term used to describe loss of a limb during an accident.  It most commonly happens during a serious road or rail accident, or as a result of an incident with machinery in the workplace.  As with other types of personal injury claim, it will be necessary to show that someone else was wholly or partly responsible for the amputation.

The solicitors in the Ashton KCJ injury teams have substantial experience in representing amputees and the firm is one of only five law firms nationally on the Limb Loss Legal Panel, formed by The Limbless Association.
