Traumatic amputation

Traumatic amputation occurs when someone loses a limb as the resulf of a  serious accident. This can occur in a road traffic accident or as a result of a slip and fall and from other causes . These injuries can be complete, or even partial where some soft tissue remains, however the injured body part is rendered useless to the injured person.

Making a surgical error claim

As with other surgical procedures, unfortunately complications can occur which can sometimes lead to an amputation of a limb for the patient. On other occasions a surgeon might remove a limb on the basis that it is causing a great deal of pain for the individual or is even threatening their health.

Misdiagnosis

Arguably the most devastating form of medical negligence is wrongful limb amputation. These are in extreme cases where limbs have been amputated due to misdiagnosis. On some occasions, the wrong limb has been amputated. The patient is likely to feel a multitude of emotions under these devastating circumstances, and will find it hard to cope.

If you or a loved one has suffered from one of these injuries, it is important to have an experienced lawyer-attorney representing you to pursue the full benefits you are entitled to under the law. Because certain types of loss of limbs can be treated very differently from one courtroom to the next, it is important to have a lawyer who is familiar with negligence law in Ontario.
