Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust claim case study

A seven-year-old girl was awarded £6,500 in a Child Settlement after a delayed diagnosis of osteomyelitis at Royal Wolverhampton Hospital.

At age four, the child suffered for two months due to a four-week delay in diagnosing osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection. The delay required debridement surgery under general anaesthetic to treat the infection in her left heel. As a result, she was confined to a wheelchair for two weeks and could not fully bear weight on her left foot for six weeks.

The girl missed most of the summer term at school and faces a 5% chance of needing future surgery on her left ankle.

Compensation Settlement

District Judge Middleton at Birmingham County Court ordered Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust to pay £4,000 compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenities (£5,272.64 RPI adjusted). The total compensation awarded was £6,500 (£8,568.03 RPI adjusted).
