Man gets compensation after kidney failure - Accidents Direct.com
A man has been awarded with a multi-million pound settlement after he suffered health issues when he donated a kidney to his father.
The man, who was in his late thirties at the time of the incident, was let on such a bad condition that he had to receive a kidney from his sister.
The man contacted a no win no fee solicitor who helped him to take his case to court. While in court the judge stated that the man suffered from a case of medical negligence.
As a result, she added, his own life had been shortened by about 10 years and he had already had to suffer the trauma that his own dialysis involved, considerable health problems and the prospect of future deterioration with the inevitability of another transplant.
She also said: “He faces a life filled with considerable uncertainty. He is understandably obsessed by his health. He remains on edge as to whether the kidney will be rejected.”
The man was successful in his claim and was awarded with £14 million in compensation.
