Our client accidentally lacerated her right thumb while using a food processing machine. She saw her GP who cleaned the wound and stitched the wound back together. Our client was advised to attend the practice every two days for two weeks thereafter – which she did.
On each occasion, our client complained of severe pain in her right thumb and limited movement of the thumb. Our client was simply told that her symptoms were normal and that she just needed to let her hand heal.
Our client was eventually sent to Hospital, where radiological investigations confirmed that she had suffered from a ruptured tendon. She was advised that her tendon retracted and that further surgical procedures were needed to repair the damage, followed by a period of rehabilitation for 1 year.
As a result, the Defendant failed to reasonably consider the possibility of a tendon or nerve injury to the plaintiff’s right thumb/hand, refer the Plaintiff for radiological investigations, and take reasonable steps to diagnose and treat the plaintiff’s tear of her flexor policies longus tendon and nerve injury to her right thumb.
Our client has since been left with permanent right hand (dominant) disability. This limits her future working capacity, her ability to perform activities of daily living and maintain her home. Although this money does not alleviate our client’s pain and suffering because of the negligence, it does ensure that negligent medical practitioners are held accountable and that our client can obtain the support she needs to move past this trauma.
