Woman wins injury compensation 28 years after incident

Those looking to pursue a personal injury claim for an incident that happened some time ago may be heartened to hear of the case of a Lincolnshire woman.

The lady, who is referred to only as Mrs P, has been awarded a £100,000 compensation payout with the help of an injury lawyer , the Lincolnshire Echo reported.

"I can now look forward to an independent future because the compensation has allowed me to organise adapted bathing facilities, correct bespoke footwear and regular professional chiropody, all of which were out of my reach," Mrs P said.

She received the amount after an "inappropriate" operation that was carried out on her almost three decades ago,

Mrs P suffered pain after staff at Boston's Pilgrim Hospital operated on her to remove corns in 1983. As a result of this operation, the claimant now has a left foot that is shorter than her right one.
