Mr M, who had a pre-existing condition affecting the blood supply to his extremities, injured his left little finger in a door.
He visited the A&E departments of two hospitals who both sent him away without a referral to a specialist or any treatment. As a result of the failure to refer him for treatment, the tip of the finger became gangrenous and was amputated.
Sara Westwood, formerly of Morgan Jones Pett in Norwich, assisted Mr M in making a claim and he received £7,500 in compensation.
