When we are ill or injured, we rely on medical products to help us regain the greatest level of well being possible. If these products fail, the impact on the user can be devastating both physically and emotionally and can lead many to make a medical product liability claim for the suffering they have endured.
After losing a leg, prosthetic limbs can offer amputees the chance of a fully independent and mobile life. However for the prosthetic to be useful to the user, it needs to be of exactly the right fit to ensure the greatest function possible. This usually involves a series of fittings and mouldings of the user to ensure a perfect fit. Due to the lengthy time period this can involve, many amputees are given alternative prosthetics before their permanent prosthetic arrives as a temporary measure.
In 2010 the parents of a ten-year-old boy who lost all four limbs after suffering from meningitis criticised NHS bureaucracy after delays stopped their son receiving new prosthetics to allow him to walk more easily. The ten-year-old was unable to resume the active lifestyle he enjoyed before his illness due to the poor fit and quality of his prosthetics.
His parents believe the NHS trust should have provided the money needed to provide their son with more advanced prosthetics than the prosthetics specialist hospital at Selly Oak can provide.
Speaking of his son, the boy's father said, "He won't let this beat him. But if this goes on and on there's only so much fight in him. We want to get this sorted while he still has his enthusiasm."
Without fully functioning prosthetics, the boy was unable to keep up with his peers and his mobility was severely limited due to the inadequacy of the prosthetics.
If the prosthetics were found to have caused the boy physical injury due to their poor fit, a medical product liability claim could be made for the personal injury they had caused him.
