What is an undiagnosed or missed fracture compensation claim?
Fractures are common injuries that can result from accidents, falls, and sports activities. However, if a fracture is not diagnosed or treated promptly, it can lead to long-term pain, disability, and reduced quality of life. In some cases, an undiagnosed or missed fracture can be the result of medical negligence, and you may be entitled to compensation.
An undiagnosed or missed fracture compensation claim is a legal claim for damages brought by a person who has suffered harm due to a medical professional’s failure to diagnose or treat a fracture. The aim of the claim is to compensate the person for the physical, emotional, and financial losses they have suffered as a result of the negligence.
What are the common causes of undiagnosed or missed fractures?
Undiagnosed or missed fractures can arise due to various types of medical negligence, including:
- Failure to carry out a thorough examination or investigation
- Misreading or misinterpreting X-rays or scans
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a fracture
- Failure to provide appropriate treatment, such as immobilisation or surgery
What can you claim for in an undiagnosed or missed fracture compensation claim?
In an undiagnosed or missed fracture compensation claim, you may be entitled to claim for various types of damages, including:
- General damages: compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of amenity
- Special damages: compensation for financial losses, such as medical expenses, loss of earnings, and travel costs
- Future losses: compensation for ongoing or future medical treatment, care, and support
