Medical Negligence
Amputation can sometimes be the only option when all other methods of preserving the limb have failed. Surgical mistakes, misdiagnosis of conditions, infections following surgery and failing to treat serious injuries correctly can all result in amputation. Our experts offer compassionate support for amputation victims due to medical negligence. Our dedicated team addresses cases, providing holistic assistance, collaborating with leading specialists, and guiding clients through the distressing experience for justice.
Medical negligence leading to amputations can result from surgical errors, misdiagnosed conditions, post-surgery infections, or incorrectly treated injuries. Amputations, whether of limbs, hands, feet, or digits, can leave victims with enduring pain, psychological trauma, financial strain, and care needs. In unavoidable surgical amputations, the aftermath involves distressing experiences, demanding holistic support.
Our expertise in medical negligence encompasses cases involving delayed cancer diagnosis, diabetic complications, limb injuries, nerve/muscle damage during surgery, incorrect partial amputations, and inadequate treatment of wounds or infections acquired in hospitals. We provide comprehensive assistance, collaborating with top prosthetists and psychologists in the UK.
Amputation can be of one or both legs, one or both arms, hands, feet, toes, fingers or parts of limbs. Amputees can be left with pain, psychological damage, poor quality of life, financial difficulties and often the need for care and adapted housing.
Surgical amputations are sometimes unavoidable, as without them serious life endangering infections, severe pain or further deterioration of the limb can occur. Any amputation is a highly distressing experience; we understand that and help our clients cope on all levels. We work with some of the best prosthetists (specialists in prosthetic limbs) and psychologists in the UK.
