Fractured wrist settlement

A promising county–level rugby player had to give up his sport after a hospital failed to spot his fractured wrist. The 23-year-old received £80,000 in compensation after the hospital failed to spot the scaphoid injury, where a small bone inside the wrist is broken. The student, who was just 16-years-old at the time of the injury, used his wrist for five months before the break was spotted by his GP.
