Fracture Negligence Claims

A fractured bone is a relatively common injury which will usually be diagnosed accurately by a medical professional. However, this does not always happen and can lead to additional pain and suffering as well as the requirement for more serious treatment.

If you or a loved have suffered due to the misdiagnosis or mismanagement of a fracture, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Our experienced medical negligence solicitors specialise in fracture negligence claims. Call us today on 033 3344 9613 or complete our online enquiry form.

Fracture Negligence Compensation Claims

An undiagnosed fracture, which has not been treated promptly can be very painful and may have an adverse effect on the healing of the bone resulting in functional and mobility problems.

Medical negligence claims relating to fractures therefore tend to fall into two distinct categories:

  1. Failure to diagnose (or missed fractures) which can include the failure to take an x-ray when it was appropriate to do so or misinterpreting an x-ray that has been taken;
  2. Incorrect treatment after diagnosis which can include conservative management of a fracture when alternative treatment such as surgery is required.
