Amputation is the removal of a limb or body part, usually through surgery, but sometimes as a result of a trauma such as an accident.

Complex cases require expert solicitors

As a general rule, surgical amputations are carried out only if absolutely necessary and medics will do everything they can to avoid having to remove a body part. Sadly, sometimes there is no other option.

Traumatic amputations sometimes occur during a catastrophic accident – typically road traffic accidents, on a construction site, military incidents or accidents at work involving dangerous machinery.

Thompsons’ team of serious injury solicitors has years of experience in dealing with compensation claims involving all types of amputation. We offer the support, assistance and specialist advice that other firms cannot.
