Our amputation claim solicitors have secured compensation for many types of amputation claims, including:
These catastrophic injuries effect the entire family, you need an experienced brain injury lawyer who understands that, and looks after the needs of the entire family.
We can help you in these tragic times of need.
You may be eligible to make an amputation claim if:
The amputation was caused by someone else’s negligence (such as an employer, medical professional, driver, or third party).
The injury occurred within the last 3 years (exceptions may apply, especially in cases involving children or lack of mental capacity).
You have suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm as a result of the brain injury.
To better understand what is considered a serious injury, read our guide What Classifies as a Serious Injury. Amputation claims are complex and require specialist solicitors who understand both the legal issues and the long-term impact of such injuries.
We simplify advice, encourage you to have a family member present, and provide all guidance in writing for clarity.

We’ll confirm your eligibility and give you the confidence to move forward with your claim.
Every amputation cliam is unique, and the level of compensation awarded will depend on how the injury has affected your life — both now and in the future. At NJS Law, we work with medical specialists, care experts, and financial advisers to ensure every aspect of your claim is fully considered.
Compensation in amputation claims is usually calculated under two main categories:
1. General Damages
This covers the pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life caused by the brain injury. The amount depends on the severity of the injury, the level of disability, and the long-term impact on your independence and wellbeing.
2. Special Damages
These are financial losses and future expenses linked to your injury, which may include:
Why Expert Reports Matter
Accurate compensation relies on detailed evidence about your long-term needs. That’s why we instruct leading medical and financial experts to prepare reports, ensuring your claim reflects not only your current situation but also the challenges you may face in the future.
✅ Our goal is to secure the right level of compensation to protect your health, independence, and financial security — for life.

Our serious injury solicitors obtained interim payments to fund accessible housing, mobility equipment, therapy, psychological support, and expert case management, working closely with leading barristers and medical professionals to evidence his lifelong needs and future losses.
