In recent years Wolferstans have seen an increase in claims relating to poor diabetic care resulting in significant injuries. One client contacted Wolferstans after having to undergo an amputation of his right leg following a fall from a ladder. He also lost the toes on his left foot. Our investigations showed that the hospital had failed to adequately monitor the wound on his heel, despite him suffering from poorly controlled diabetes and diabetic neuropathy, leading to the development of infected ulcers and the need for an amputation.
An amputation is a serious and often life changing experience and our team of specialist lawyers fully understand the difficulties associated with adjusting to life without a limb or extremity, and how it may mean relearning how to perform day-to-day tasks.
Our Solicitors in the Medical Negligence Team at Wolferstans have represented a wealth of clients who have found themselves in the unfortunate position of suffering complications directly as a result of negligent treatment.
