Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust (2011) case study
A 63-year-old man was awarded £15,000 (£16,389.94 adjusted for inflation) in an out-of-court settlement after sustaining a grade 2 pressure sore on his buttock.
The claimant, aged 59 at the time of his admission to a hospital within the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, suffered from a neurological condition that impacted his mental capacity. He was incontinent, had a catheter, and was fed via a PEG tube.
Two days after admission, a grade 2 pressure sore developed on his buttock. Despite nursing interventions, his condition worsened, and two months later, a breakdown of skin on his sacrum occurred, preventing him from sitting. He also experienced allergic reactions to the dressings used to treat the sore, further complicating his recovery.
The sore took around six months to heal, and it was suggested that nursing notes may have understated the severity of the injury, as deep tissue damage was likely.
Compensation Settlement
Judge Hassell at the Manchester County Court approved an out of court settlement of £15,000 (£16,389.94 RPI adjusted) of which £13,500 (£14,750.94 RPI adjusted) was for general damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
