REAL EXPERIENCES

Gordon’s story

It was an experience I never thought I’d have to go through, but it was made so much better because of the support I received.

Type of injury: Misdiagnosis MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

What happened

When a blockage in Gordon’s leg went undiagnosed in 2011, the consequences were devastating. Losing his leg meant facing both the physical and emotional challenge of rebuilding his life.

With this leg I can be more part of the team, I don’t have to sit down so much and we actually got promoted last year and we were the strongest in the league.

The Settlement

A compensation figure only tells part of the story. For Gordon, the outcome wasn’t about compensation alone, it was about understanding what happened, regaining independence and accessing the support that helped him move forward with confidence.

  • Gordon walking in his garden
    Achieving a greater sense of independence and mobility.
  • Gordon sat on his sofa with his new prosthetic leg
    Ongoing access to specialist rehabilitation and a specialist prosthetic limb.
  • Gordon playing bowls in his garden
    Given the confidence to stay connected to the things he enjoys the most.
