Avoidable amputations can vary greatly in terms of their severity – from a single finger to an entire arm, leg (or both) – and they can arise due to a broad spectrum of medical mistakes.
Some of the most common include surgical errors and failure to diagnose and properly treat sepsis, meningitis, encephalitis, vascular disease, and cancer. But whatever the circumstances of your amputation, if you’ve sustained life-changing injuries due to the negligence of a medical professional, we should be able to help.
In addition to our team of specialist serious injury solicitors, we have access to a cohort of consultant insurers, medical negligence barristers and medics – who are all experts in this area. As such, we can assist with both upper and lower-limb amputation claims, including (but not limited to):

- Loss of one or both arms
- Loss of a big toe
- Loss of all toes
- Loss of one or both feet
- Loss of one leg, above or below the knee
- Loss of both legs below the knee
