How can we help?
An amputation following an industrial accident can be an incredibly traumatic and life-altering experience. Whether involving the loss of a finger, hand, arm, foot, or leg, the physical and psychological impact is profound and long-lasting. At Stephensons, we understand the challenges faced by individuals and their families after such serious injuries. Our dedicated personal injury solicitors are here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve if your injury was caused by employer negligence or unsafe working conditions.
An industrial accident amputation refers to the loss of a limb or body part due to a workplace-related incident, often occurring in environments such as factories, construction sites, warehouses, or manufacturing facilities. Common causes of these incidents include faulty machinery, lack of proper training, inadequate safety equipment, or failure to implement proper health and safety measures.
These types of amputations may be immediate (traumatic amputation) or may occur later due to infection or medical complications stemming from the injury. Industrial accidents often have long-term consequences not only physically but also emotionally and financially, impacting the individual’s ability to work and live independently.
Yes, you may be entitled to compensation if your amputation was caused by an industrial accident that was not your fault. Employers have a legal duty under health and safety laws to provide a safe working environment. If they have failed in their duty of care—whether by not maintaining equipment, providing insufficient training, failing to risk assess systems of work or ignoring safety protocols—you could have grounds for a personal injury claim.
Compensation for an industrial accident amputation can help with immediate and long-term needs, including:

You generally have three years from the date of the accident to make a personal injury claim. However, exceptions may apply so it is important to seek legal advice as early as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
You may still be able to claim compensation through a process known as contributory negligence, where the compensation amount is adjusted to reflect your level of responsibility. Our solicitors will assess the details of your case and provide tailored advice on how this might affect your claim.
The amount of compensation varies depending on the severity of the amputation, the impact on your life, and your financial losses. Our solicitors will work diligently to ensure you receive a fair and comprehensive settlement that considers both your current and future needs.
Most industrial accident amputation claims are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be agreed upon, we will represent you at every stage of the court process and fight for the best possible outcome on your behalf.
Yes, if a loved one has suffered an amputation and is unable to make a claim themselves due to physical or mental incapacity, you may be able to act on their behalf as a litigation friend. Our solicitors can guide you through this process with care and compassion.

Our aim is to secure maximum compensation and ensure you receive the rehabilitation and support you need to move forward.
