If you have suffered a loss of limb as a result of a road traffic accident, injury at work or in a public place, then it is likely that you will have a claim for compensation.
Loss of limb injuries are life-changing and the compensation that you receive should reflect this.
Compensation that you receive can cover the cost of any potential prosthetics, rehabilitation, modifications, and adaptions that you may require to your home, workplace or vehicle, as well as any future medical care. It is often possible to secure an interim payment to help you cover such expenses, before the claim is settled.
Compensation will also cover the pain and suffering that you have suffered and other financial losses, such as financial losses, travel expenses and any additional care that you have had. This is not an exhaustive list, and if you can prove another loss linked to the injury then you should be able to recover it, within reason.
Is there a time limit to making a claim for loss of limb or amputation?
If you are over the age of 18, then there is a 3-year time limit from the date of the accident to bring the claim. If you are under the age of 18 then there is a 3-year time limit running from the date of your 18th Birthday.
There are limited exceptions to this time limit, so if you think that you have a claim, you should contact a Solicitor as soon as possible.
