Whilst on holiday, our client lost their footing on a hotel driveway defect which caused them to fall and suffer a broken wrist.
There’s never a good time for it, but to suffer an injury like that while on holiday when you’re supposed to be relaxing is devastating!
Our client also suffered bruising to the leg. Uneven ground and flooring may not seem like much to some, but they can cause serious harm. In addition to broken bones, anyone who trips on them could end up hitting their heads and could suffer a brain injury.
A visit to hospital confirmed our client suffered a fracture to the wrist, and the typical cast treatment was used to immobilise the arm. The untimely accident meant our client had to endure a broken wrist and wear a plaster cast for the rest of the holiday.
With a broken wrist, our client was constantly in pain and struggled with even the most basic of tasks.
Anyone who has broken their wrist or arm knows how annoying and frustrating it is to do simple little things, like buttoning your shirt or using cutlery. Our client’s partner was very helpful and took care of daily activities and tasks, including personal care and household chores.
This is something we take into consideration when helping you claim; even if a family member is more than happy to take the time to help you, it’s something they wouldn’t have had to do if the injury wasn’t sustained in the first place.
The injury hampered our client’s hobbies as well, both during the period of wearing a cast, and afterwards due to ongoing pain. Therapy and exercises were needed to improve reduced grip-strength. The claim included several costly trips to hospitals appointments which of coursed our client was taken to given the inability to drive from the injury caused.
For all of the pain, suffering and financial losses out client suffered, The Injury Lawyers successfully recovered £7,500.00 in compensation. We trust the hotel will have fixed the driveway by now to make sure others are prevented from getting hurt in the same way.
