Claiming compensation for amputation injuries
Having a limb amputated not only has obvious physical implications, it can have a significant psychological effect which should not be underestimated. And while your case requires specialist legal skills, you and your family will need specialist advice and support. MPH Solicitors make sure you get both.
We handle a great number of amputation cases, including many arising during military service, some of which involve traumatic explosions, so we understand the process of physical and emotional recovery and will offer help at every turn. As well as ensuring that your financial and medical needs are met, we can help make sure your rehabilitation is as smooth as possible, and organise prosthetics, physiotherapy, pain management, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy as needed. In our experience these resources are rarely available on the NHS.
While we realise your life will never be the same again, we hope to help you find a more positive future.
We have recently handled over 60 military cases from Iraq and Afghanistan, many of which involve traumatic amputation, including:
- Black Watch Battle Group Suicide Bomber Victims from Iraq
- Kajaki Mine Field Victims from Afghanistan.
This experience has however proven positive and beneficial as well as negative and unwanted. I would like to think we are a stronger family and have come into contact with many wonderful people, yourself included.’
