Suffering an amputation injury is traumatic and painful, and can also result in a loss of livelihood, financial problems and depression.
However, if a victim has sustained their personal injury due to the negligence of another person, organisation or company they could make a compensation claim against them.
In some situations, hospital staff manage to save an amputated limb and re-attach it before the tissue dies through lack of blood circulation, but even in these cases a great deal of rehabilitation may be needed before the individual can perform tasks as they had done prior to the accident. Furthermore, they may not ever recover full movement in the limb.
Other casualties are not so lucky and must learn to live with a lost hand, arm, foot or leg and, if they choose to do so, have a prosthetic attached so that they can function better day-to-day. This also requires rehabilitation and can be time consuming and stressful.
Remuneration can help a victim take time in rehabilitation without worrying about lost earnings, and may even help to pay for private treatment, a better quality prosthetic, and an adapted vehicle, or full-time care at the person's home if necessary.
Not only can this alleviate the stress for the casualty, but it can help their family too.
Anyone who has suffered an amputation injury in a road traffic accident, at work, on holiday or due to a faulty product, could be eligible to make a claim.
