Thomas* suffered an elbow injury during a fall and attended the emergency department of his local hospital. Although a fracture was correctly identified initially, it was not appreciated that he was developing a more serious issue being osteonecrosis. Despite him attending further follow-up appointments, the fact he was not improving as ordinarily anticipated for this type of fracture, the working diagnosis was not reviewed and ultimately it took a number of months for the correct diagnosis to be reached.

Expert evidence was obtained and a claim put to the Defendant Trust. The Trust’s representatives however denied liability on the basis that although there were delays in reaching the correct diagnosis, treatment would not have been different and as such the outcome was the same either way.

Although there was a robust denial of liability, negotiation discussions nevertheless took place and a compromise settlement of £1,800 reached.

This is therefore another case example whereby even a robust denial of liability need not necessarily prevent a compromise settlement. Whilst Aston Knight Solicitors never shy away from issuing court proceedings, or even proceeding to trial where needs be, in order to secure justice for clients, sometimes a compromise position can resolve a disputed case without the need for court proceedings.

At the conclusion of the case Thomas’s mother, who had conducted the case for him due to him being a minor, expressed her thanks:

“Thank you so much for your time and effort in pursuing the case on behalf of myself and Thomas. We really appreciate the fact that you have waived your fee, this is really kind of you.”
