Case study

Accident in Hospital Assessment Unit

Our client brought a claim on behalf of the estate of her grandmother, who had been admitted to the Assessment Unit to decide whether or not she was suffering from dementia as she was confused and had a tendency to wander.

The grandmother was left unattended for over 3 hours and tragically wandered unobserved outside of the building. She subsequently fell down some steps and severely fractured her right ankle and left knee. She sadly passed away just 2 months later.

The defendant admitted liability in full and our client has recovered the sum of £17,500 by way of compensation.
