Adjusting to life after an amputation can be daunting and can put an incredible strain on your relationships with family and friends. The realisation of your future following the amputation can be intimidating but we have a specialist team of amputation lawyers that can help you through this difficult period whilst taking care of the legal side of a compensation claim.

Amputation care needs
We can also help you assess your care needs including identifying the right prosthesis, fitting the prosthesis, caring for the stump, dealing with mobility problems and anticipating complications. The level and duration of care will depend on the severity of the amputation and your ability to adapt and cope with the prosthesis.
