People who have no experience of disability find it difficult to imagine what life must be like for anyone who has lost a limb, especially amputations resulting from accidents where the trauma is sudden.
Some amputations are the result of children being born with genetic malformations necessitating surgery to achieve mobility or halt progression of a life-threatening condition, while others are a result of diseases, such as meningitis, causing deformity.
Cancers, diabetes and other illnesses which compromise the body's circulatory system can also result in the medical necessity for amputation in an effort to save a person's life.
This last group of causes is the most common reason for removal of an extremity and usually, unless there has been a failure by surgeons or other medical staff in their treatment of an amputee resulting in a clinical negligence compensation claim, these situations are unlikely to give rise to a personal injury damages action.
However, if the injury was avoidable and caused by the actions or failure of another person, for example in a car crash or accident in the workplace, there may well be grounds for making a claim.
With amputation having such serious outcomes for the future lifestyle of a victim, an early consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer may make all the difference to obtaining a financial settlement which will enable the sufferer to lead as active and pain-free life as possible.
Even if the victim is judged to be partly responsible for the accident and injury, a compensation payment could still be made, enabling home adaptations to be built or a sophisticated prosthetic limb to be purchased.
If a medical mistake has been made that results in amputation, whether by letting an avoidable condition continue until amputation is necessary or by removing a limb when better treatments were available, a medical negligence claim may also be possible.
