How can making a claim following an amputation help you?

If you have lost a limb, you will need support financially and psychologically to ensure your recovery is optimised to ensure a positive outlook. An amputation does not mean your life ends, but of course, you will be faced with significant additional challenges that can in the early days, seem impossible to overcome.

At Oliver & Co, our initial focus is securing an admission of liability from the Defendant to ensure we can obtain interim payments for treatment, both for your physical and psychological wellbeing. We often seek interim payments to help fund a cleaner for example, state-of-the-art prosthetics along with aids or modifications to your home and vehicle.

What can I claim for?

Pain and suffering
Loss of earnings both past and future
Care and assistance from professional organisations or help by your family/friends
Prosthetics including assessment, fitting and therapy
Relocation costs if living at your current home is no longer practical
Modifications to home and garden to make your home more easily accessible
Osseointegration surgery if this is an option you would like to pursue

Success story

We recovered £3 million for a 21-year-old upper arm amputee who was a competitive cyclist. We secured interim payments at an early stage to purchase a cycling arm, gym arm and myoelectric arm through Dorset Orthopaedics and the settlement included the cost of prosthesis and refitting though his lifetime.
