At Brian Barr Solicitors, we take all aspects of your loss into account and aim to secure the full value of your claim, including current and future needs.
The timeframe for settling an amputation compensation claim can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, whether liability is admitted, and the extent of your injuries. In general, serious injury claims such as those involving amputations can take 18 months to several years to fully conclude. However, in many cases, we may be able to secure interim payments to cover immediate costs like rehabilitation or home adaptations before the claim is finalised. These interim payments provide essential support while the full value of your claim is being calculated.
Yes, you may still be able to claim compensation even if you were partially to blame for the accident. This is known as contributory negligence.

For example, if you are found to be 25% at fault, your final compensation award would be reduced by that percentage. Our expert solicitors can advise you on whether contributory negligence applies and help you secure the best possible outcome.

Recovery after amputation is a long journey and can often feel lonely. Prosthetic rehabilitation can help restore your independence, however it can be a frustrating process.
Prosthetics have many benefits such as increased mobility, improved appearance, more functionality and independence, as well as reduction of phantom leg pain.

At Brian Barr we are a dedicated team who are passionate about helping our clients in a caring, understanding and professional manner. We pride ourselves in providing expert support and advice in your time of need and know that there is more to an amputation than a physical loss of limb.
An amputation often follows from a traumatic experience, especially if it was caused by an accident due to someone else’s negligence. Many amputees suffer from PTSD, which could include panic attacks and flashbacks during the day, or nightmares that affect the quality and quantity of their sleep, and it is important to get professional help for your mental health too.
About 30% of amputees are troubled by depression. Decreased self-esteem, distorted body image, flashbacks and PTSD, increased dependency, and social isolation are also common following an amputation.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that when a person loses a limb, the people who are close to them are also impacted. Relationships change and family members can struggle too, especially if they have to suddenly take on the role of primary caregiver. It is important for the whole family to get support from a mental health counsellor or professional.
