Amputation of Arms
Amputation of Arms
With the loss of both arms which would leave the person in a state of considerable helplessness, the amount of compensation awarded would be in the region of £140,500 to £174,500.
An accident that resulted in one arm being amputated at the shoulder would result in damages not less than £79,000.
The amount of compensation you could receive for an amputation above the elbow could result in damages of £63,625 to £76,350. The shorter the stump might create difficulties in the use of a prosthesis which could make the level of award at the higher end of the scale.
An accident where the result would be amputation through the forearm with remaining severe natural and phantom pains would depend on: the intensity of the phantom pains, if the amputation was of the dominant arm and whether the amputation is above or below the elbow. The amount that would be considered would be in the region of £56,000 to £63,625.
