Amputation as a Result of an Accident at Work
Claim compensation for amputations caused by workplace accidents
Unfortunately some work accidents may lead to amputations whether of a limb or of fingers and toes. Amputations may result from contact with unguarded machinery or from falling objects or from becoming trapped by vehicles within the workplace.
The full extent of the injuries are investigated by the appropriate medical experts and interim payments may be available to assist with rehabilitation therapies and in some cases prosthetic provision.
Irwin Mitchell has a proven track record in dealing with cases involving amputations as a result of work accidents:
A young man suffered a traumatic amputation of his arm at shoulder level when it was dragged into a machine at a scrap yard. Interim payments were obtained to assist with employment rehabilitation and prosthetic provision. A compensation settlement of £580,000.00 was achieved.
A Sheffield man was awarded £3,800 by his employers in an out of Court settlement after losing part of a finger whilst at work. The man, a press operator, suffered injury to the end of the ring finger on his left hand whilst lifting a steel plate.
