£1.5m compensation awarded for hospital blunder

John Halliday was a patient of Bradford Royal Infirmary and is now confined to a wheelchair due to failures of doctors within the Yorkshire hospital.

The patient was left with devastating injuries after the hospital failed to diagnose a serious infection which spread throughout his body and into his spine.

The delay in diagnosing and treating septic arthritis enabled the infection to spread.

Delays in diagnosis can be as serious as a misdiagnosis and can lead to significant medical complications.

JMP Solicitors help individuals who fall victim of medical accidents with a personal compensation service taking into account claims for pain, suffering and loss of amenity in addition to ongoing care needs and loss of earnings.
