How can we help?
Suffering an arm amputation as a result of a workplace accident is a life-changing event that can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences. At Stephensons, we understand how traumatic these incidents can be and are here to provide expert legal support to help you pursue the compensation you deserve. Whether your accident occurred on a construction site, in a factory, or during any kind of manual labour, our specialist personal injury solicitors are ready to support your arm amputation at work claim with care, professionalism, and determination.
An arm amputation at work refers to the loss of all or part of the arm due to an accident or injury that occurs in the workplace. This may result from machinery accidents, crush injuries, or unsafe working environments. In some cases, the limb may be severed at the scene; in others, severe damage may require surgical amputation. Such a serious injury not only affects a person's ability to work but can also impact their mobility, independence, and mental wellbeing. Employers have a legal duty to maintain a safe workplace, and if they fail in this responsibility, resulting in a serious injury like an arm amputation, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Yes, if you have suffered an arm amputation due to an accident at work that was caused by negligence, you may be eligible to make a compensation claim. Common causes of such injuries include inadequate training, faulty machinery, lack of safety guards, and failure to follow health and safety regulations. Even if you are partly to blame, you may still be able to make a claim however you may be held to be contributory negligent and a deduction from the overall settlement agreement/award may be applied.
A successful claim can provide compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earnings, future income, rehabilitation costs, and the cost of prosthetics or home adaptations. Time limits apply when bringing a personal injury claim, so we recommend seeking legal advice as soon as possible.

In most personal injury cases, you have three years from the date of the accident, or from the date of knowledge of your injury, to begin a compensation claim.
