Our client attended hospital with a hand injury, confirmed via x-ray as 2 fractured fingers. The injured fingers were strapped together, bandaged and the client released from hospital.
The following day, our client returned to hospital suffering with pain in the fractured fingers and was subsequently referred to a consultant for a follow up appointment where a splint was provided but no recommendation made for physiotherapy.
After several weeks of continued pain, our client was unable to move her fingers properly and suffered from an infection requiring antibiotics. She has been left with curved fingers and has undergone physiotherapy.
As a result of her injury, she was awarded £20,000 in compensation for the pain and discomfort she suffered of the delayed referral for follow up and physiotherapy.
