An amputation of a limb which was caused by medical negligence is very hard for the victim to come to terms with especially, if the amputation was needless or could have been minimised with timely treatment, and care.
When something like this happens this can leave the victim with serious life changing injuries along with loss of independence, and loss of confidence.
Examples of amputation medical negligence claims can include:
- Delay in diagnosis or treatment of a diabetic foot, toe or an ulcer
- Delay in diagnosis and treatment of an infection
- Delay in diagnosis and treatment of a circulatory or vascular problem such as D.V.T.
- Delay in diagnosis or treatment of bone cancer
- Delay in diagnosis or treatment of acute compartment syndrome
- Delay in diagnosis or treatment of a fracture
- Poor aftercare following surgery resulting in an infection and necrosis.
