A 17 year old boy was awarded a lump sum of £1.27 million and
annual payments of over £350,000 every year for the remainder of
his life after he sustained severe brain damage. The injury
occurred as a result of a failure on the part of the nursing staff
to monitor him properly whilst he was a patient of the Great Ormond
Street Hospital NHS Trust. The boy was left with permanent four
limb paralysis and he was expected to survive for a further 11 - 13
years.
Simon Parford, Partner and head of the clinical negligence
department at Wolferstans, commented that "this young man has
received the compensation to which he is entitled to enable him to
provide for his complex needs for the rest of his life."
