Our client injured his hand whilst abroad and on his return from holiday, attended A & E. He was x-rayed and told that he had only suffered a sprain.
Our client was recalled back to the Accident & Emergency Department of the hospital two weeks later when he was informed that the original x-ray had been reviewed and did, in fact, show that he had broken his wrist. Our client was treated by way of a plaster cast and a follow-up appointment was arranged. At this follow-up appointment, our client was informed that not only had he broken his wrist, but the ligaments had also been damaged and this had caused the bones to be displaced. Unfortunately, surgery and treatment were unsuccessful and our client underwent a wrist fusion operation the following year. Despite the defendant maintaining a denial of liability, our client has recovered the sum of £35,000 by way of compensation.
