Amputation Solicitors Newcastle

If you’ve suffered an amputation due to an accident at work or as a result of a serious injury, you could be liable to claim thousands in compensation.

Beecham Peacock’s amputation claim solicitors in the North East have experience winning all manner of amputation claims, including amputation due to medical negligence.

What compensation can be granted in an amputation claim?

Beecham Peacock’s amputation lawyers will help you claim compensation, factoring in two main considerations:

• General damages: Compensation covering the pain, suffering and loss of amenity from the injury that resulted in your amputation.
• Special damages: Contextual compensation that takes into account financial losses and increased costs due to the amputation, such as loss of work, rehabilitation and medical bills.

Amputation compensation amounts

The amount of compensation you can win will scale according to the severity of the amputation and the number of special damages that apply to your case.

In terms of general damages, more extreme amputations – such as a double-arm amputation – will warrant a higher compensation claim than one below-the-knee leg amputation. Suffering and the events leading to the amputation will also play a factor.

You may also be owed more due to your special damages, such as a higher number of financial dependents on your income, newfound care costs, or newfound medical costs.

Beecham Peacock’s amputation injury claim solicitors have won up to [COMPENSATION RANGE] in the North East for sufferers of an amputation due to an accident that wasn’t their fault. We can help.

Is there a time limit on making an amputation claim?

Typically, amputation claims should be made within three years from the date of the accident that led to the amputation. However, there are exceptions to this, such as instances of making an amputation claim on behalf of a child.
