Making a compensation claim for amputation caused by medical negligence
The need for surgical amputation can arise as a result of medical negligence.
When a patient receives substandard medical treatment which results in the amputation of a limb then they are likely to be entitled to be compensated.
The circumstances in which amputation can be caused by medical negligence includes:
- misdiagnosis of meningitis or vascular disease;
- misdiagnosis or mistreatment of diabetes;
- misdiagnosis of cancer;
- surgical error;
- mistreatment of infection or sepsis; and
- mistreatment of a fracture.
