Amputation Injury Claims FAQs
In Northern Ireland, the standard limitation period for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident or the date of knowledge of the injury – there are certain exceptions where the cut off is 2 years. It’s crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure compliance with the time limits.
Compensation for an amputation injury may include damages for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and future care needs. The amount of compensation will vary based on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life.
Yes, you may still be eligible to claim compensation even if the accident was partially your fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. It’s essential to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.
Answer: “Smith v Manchester” refers to a legal principle established in a landmark case that recognises the impact of an injury on an individual’s ability to earn a living. If your amputation injury affects your ability to work or pursue employment opportunities, you may be entitled to compensation for “Smith v Manchester” disability in the labour market. This compensation aims to address the loss of earning capacity resulting from your injury.
Answer: Eligibility for compensation under “Smith v Manchester” disability in the labour market depends on various factors, including the severity of your amputation injury, your occupation, your education and skills, your age, and your ability to retrain or find alternative employment. Our legal team will assess these factors and advocate for fair compensation to address your loss of earning capacity.
Answer: If your injury prevents you from returning to work, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of earnings, including past and future income you would have earned if not for the injury. Our experienced solicitors will work closely with you to assess your loss of earning capacity and pursue maximum compensation to support your financial needs.
