Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust case study
An 89-year-old man received £25,000 in an out-of-court settlement after developing painful grade 4 pressure sores during a three-week stay at Kingston Hospital.
Admitted at 88 following a fall, the man developed sores on his sacrum and heels. The sore on his left heel healed within four months, but it took 15 months for the one on his right foot to fully recover. Throughout this period, the sores required dressing three times a week, and he relied on daily pain relief.
As a result, the man lost his independence, becoming housebound and unable to drive or participate in local activities. For six months, he was unable to shop or cook, relying on meals-on-wheels services, which incurred additional costs. He also required assistance with personal care for the first 12 weeks following the injury.
Compensation Settlement
The claim was settled out of court and the claimant awarded £25,000 (£28,917 RPI adjusted) of which £21,000 (£24,290.28 RPI adjusted) was for general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
