Leeds Teaching Hospital Compensation Claim Case Study

A four-year-old girl was awarded £600 in a County Court settlement following a delay in diagnosis of a fractured arm at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

At age one, the child fell at home and injured her right arm. A doctor examined her but only partially rolled up her sleeve, concluding the injury was just a bruise. No X-ray was performed.

Thirteen days later, the girl's mother noticed swelling and returned to the hospital, where X-rays revealed a mid-shaft fracture of the right radius. The injury was treated with an above-elbow cast for 19 days.

Leeds Hospital admitted liability for failing to diagnose the fracture during the initial visit, causing the child unnecessary pain. Fortunately, the delay did not affect the long-term outcome, and she made a full recovery with no lasting disability.

Compensation settlement

The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust reached a County Court settlement of £600.
