Amputation and Limb Loss

HOW IS AMPUTATION DEFINED?

Amputation is the surgical amputation of a limb or extremity, such as an arm, leg, foot, shoulder, toe, or finger, in its whole or in part. Amputations affect around 1.8 million Americans. Leg amputations, whether above or below the knee, are the most frequent kind of amputation.

CAUSES OF AMPUTATION

Amputations may be necessary for a variety of reasons. The most prevalent is decreased circulation caused by artery damage or constriction, a condition known as peripheral arterial disease. Without an adequate blood flow, cells in the body cannot get the oxygen and nutrition they need from the circulation. As a consequence, the diseased tissue begins to die and infection might develop in.

How can we help?

PROCEEDING WITH AN AMPUTATION CLAIM

Whether you or a member of your family has suffered a limb damage as a result of substandard medical care, our team of medical negligence specialists can assist you in pursuing an insurance claim. They may ask questions before advising you on the best course of action to take in order to acquire further information regarding the accident and injuries experienced.

In all amputation instances, you must establish that the limb was amputated as a result of the defendant’s or group’s carelessness. You may need to acquire evidence to bolster your case, which may include the following:

  • Hospital records, as well as documents outlining the injuries and amputation justifications
  • Witness statements made by emergency personnel and others on the site of the occurrence
  • Tax returns and other papers evidencing any unearned income
  • Photographs showing the injuries, the occurrence scene, and any appliances, automobiles, or other items associated with the amputation cause

COMPENSATION FOR AMPUTATION

We know that the process of re-adjustment would be difficult—not only for the amputee, but also for their family. Amputation insurance is intended to assist in making this process easier and to guarantee that you may live as normally as possible. The sum granted varies according to the amputation of the limb(s), the severity of the injuries, and the effect on the amputee’s life.

A critical aspect of an amputee’s life is the need for proper prostheses that enable them to resume their pre-accident activities and lifestyle, to the extent feasible. Along with cutting-edge daily prostheses, our customers have benefited from aquatic and exercise limbs, which have enabled them to return to activities such as skiing, rowing, rugby, and swimming.

We must acquire professional studies that detail the client’s prosthetic requirements, both immediate and long-term. We also consider your unique requirements and expectations.

Additionally, the insurance for the amputation may be utilised for the following:

  • Earnings loss
    Either because to the loss of a limb necessitating time off work to recuperate or due to the inability to return to full-time job.
  • Retraining
    To advance a new career or to assist your old company in making the required modifications to facilitate your return to work.
  • Rehabilitation
    Physical treatment and medical aid costs
  • Changes in accommodations
    Adaptations to your house or relocation to more appropriate dwelling will be covered by the claim.
  • Travel costs
    To all sessions of treatment and rehabilitation.
  • Suffering and agony on a physical and emotional level.
