We understand that any amputation or loss of limb injury is a traumatic and incredibly serious situation that will have life-changing consequences for you and your loved ones.
The amount of compensation you can get for losing a limb in the UK depends on the type of amputation, the severity of your injuries, and your financial losses. The Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) provide a starting point for calculating compensation, but the final amount will be decided by a judge in court.
The JCG sets out a range of compensation amounts for different types of amputation. For example, the JCG states that the amount of compensation for the loss of a leg below the knee is between £97,980 and £132,990. The amount of compensation for the loss of a hand is between £96,160 and £109,650.
In addition to general damages, you may also be able to claim special damages for financial losses such as lost earnings, medical expenses, and care costs.
If you have lost a limb, you should contact a personal injury solicitor to discuss your claim. A solicitor at claim today will be able to assess your case and advise you on the amount of compensation you may be entitled to.
