Steven Griffin (46) of North Hull claims he received negligent treatment by Hull Royal Infirmary and has issued High Court proceedings against the Trust for £300,000 after being told he could lose his leg.
The Hull and East Riding Daily Mail reports that Griffin was "a fit and active man" before he slipped on the ice sustaining a fracture to his right foot and an injury to his left knee on 4 January 2010.
A below-the-knee cast was applied and following its removal some three weeks later an ultrasound scan showed a blood clot was present.
Despite treatment, Griffin developed an extensive deep vein thrombosis claiming that his veins have been permanently damaged.
The claim alleges that the trust were negligent as hospital staff failed to provide him with anticoagulants at the time the cast was applied and as a result there is an exacerbated risk of further deep-veined thrombosis leading to the loss of his leg.
