Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Suffering a serious injury at work can be a traumatic and distressing experience. This trauma can be all the more shocking and difficult to deal with if the incident results in an amputation.
Many parties may potentially be held legally responsible for a work accident. If you have suffered an amputation following a work incident, you may well be able to pursue a claim for compensation.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for you in your claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family following an amputation, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference, both long term and short term.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Amputation Cases With Expertise And Sensitivity
Irwin Mitchell is one of the UK’s leading firms of personal injury lawyers, with a team of specialist solicitors working on amputation claims for people who have lost arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet or toes following an accident at work.
Our team can give you full support in your amputation claim and help you to secure the compensation that you deserve. We can also provide help and support to assist you in accessing rehabilitation and where necessary with any modifications that may be required to your home as a result of your accident.
Injuries leading to amputations can happen in any number of ways, but those most common in the workplace include:
- Contact with unguarded machinery
- Crush injury from heavy falling objects
- Becoming trapped by vehicles
All injuries require thorough medical investigation to establish their long and short term impact on you so that the effects of the injury can be properly dealt with in a claim. So if you’ve suffered injury at work leading to amputation, our aim is to:
- Obtain the best possible expert opinion on your injuries and their impact
- Consider and assist in your access to rehabilitation services and in obtaining funding for those services (including prosthetics, where appropriate)
- Assess and plan provision for your day-to-day requirements (both now and in the future)
- Obtain the best possible compensation to secure a future that will give you peace of mind.
The effects of an amputation injury can be life changing not only because of their physical impact but due to other changes they may lead to. Temporary or permanent changes in your work capabilities and family role can follow an injury and you may also have shocking memories of your accident to deal with. Not surprisingly, some people who suffer an amputation injury also develop psychological or psychiatric illnesses (such as depression or post-traumatic stress disorder) whilst trying to adjust to their new situation. All these factors must be taken into account when assessing a potential amputation claim. At Irwin Mitchell we ensure that the full impact of your accident is properly considered.
