Successful clinical negligence claim after failing to diagnose DVT

Deep Vein ThrombosisRecently at Pryers we recovered substantial damages for the family of a patient who died after hospital staff failed to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Sadly, some of the family witnessed the immediate aftermath of the death and were awarded damages for the psychiatric reaction to these events.

Sadly this medical negligence case highlights the fact that it’s estimated there could be between 1000 and 2000 deaths in the UK each year, so correct diagnosis is essential.
