Burn Injuries

Jennie sustained burn injuries to her chest and abdomen whilst under general anaesthetic. The burns were caused as a result of an alcohol-based skin preparation solution being accidently ignited by the diathermy being used by the treating surgeon. Unfortunately, immediately prior to the fluid being ignited, it had pooled around Jennie’s abdomen when being applied towards the end of her operation.

As a result of the accident, Jennie had to have skin grafts and was left with some quite significant scarring to her chest and abdomen which she was thereafter extremely conscious of, to the extent that she had to alter the way she dressed to account for it.

We contacted the private surgeon involved on behalf of Jennie and soon received an admission of breach of duty. We obtained a medical report to confirm the extent of the injuries and the pain and suffering.

We negotiated settlement of Jennie’s claim in the sum of £11,000.00.
