£90,000 Compensation for Avoidable Amputation of Fingers
Our client went to the A&E department at St Thomas’s Hospital in London after coughing up blood and losing weight for 11 days.
Solicitor, Medical Negligence
Our client fell off a ladder and there was a delay in diagnosing his Achilles tendon injury due to medical negligence. There was then a further delay in correcting the damage, which is when he reached out to our team for help in claiming compensation.
When our client went to the hospital following the fall with the pain from the injury, they failed to correctly diagnose his Achilles tendon Injury.
Our client was not given any treatment when he presented to hospital initially, which is why he was of the opinion that the delay in diagnosing his injury resulted in the need for further surgery. He had a prolonged period of rehabilitation and had to attend several outpatient appointments at the hospital.
