An amputation claim is a serious injury claim made when a person loses a limb, either partially or fully, due to an accident or medical error caused by someone else’s negligence. These life-altering injuries can occur in situations such as:
If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
Even if symptoms seem mild at first, it is important to seek medical attention and legal advice early.
Contact us through our enquiry form, phone, or email. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain what to expect next. There’s no upfront fee to begin your claim.
Your case will be carefully reviewed by our legal team. We assess the strength of your claim, advise on the documentation needed, and guide you through key steps such as attending an independent medical examination and preparing the information required for the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB).
