Amputation Medical Malpractice Claims

Losing a limb can be hugely traumatic and this can be exasperated if your medical experts make mistakes either in surgery or when treating an infection or disease. If this is the case, you might be eligible for compensation.

How Can Medical Negligence Lead to Amputation?

There are a few different circumstances in which amputation has happened due to medical negligence, for example:

What Are The Main Causes of Paralysis?

Surgical error
Poor treatment for diabetes
Misdiagnosis by GP
Failing to diagnose an infectious disease
Failure to identify a traumatic injury
Delay in diagnosis of cancer
Failing to diagnosis meningitis
Inappropriate treatment of an infected limb

Our experienced medical negligence amputation solicitors will always put you first and can give you advice on:

Adaptions to your property
Specialist equipment, such as lifts or adjustments to cars
Private medical treatment and therapy
Rehabilitation or retraining
Extensive prosthesis

Following negations with the defendant, Mr X was offered £250,000 gross of the interim payments of £52,009 to settle the claim. Mr X accepted this offer and was very thankful for our assistance with his claim.

Absolutely amazing service, I had an accident back in 2016 and they fought tooth and nail to get me the treatment and pay out that I deserved, my case handler Amy kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Howells to anyone.

From start to finish my daughter’s medical negligence claim was handled brilliantly. Communication was excellent and her case was handled sensitively and professionally, with a successful outcome at the end.

Excellent service as always, Highly recommended wouldn't use anybody else , always on hand to help and advice . Thank you!!!!!

I recently used Howells' for a claim. After an initial telephone conversation, Amy (our assigned representative) went through the process of our potential claim. She outlined time frames and the strength of our case. We ended up receiving compensation above our expectations. I was thoroughly impressed the team from Howells and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. They handled the whole process in a manner which inspired confidence, knowing that we were in good hands.
