Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Mrs Prentice was working as a cleaner in a hospital when she pricked his finger on the needle from a hypodermic syringe. The fear of possible HIV infection left her with post traumatic stress disorder. It was 3 months before doctors were able to give Mrs Prentice the all clear, as HIV infection is not always apparent immediately in a blood test. Case Direct took on Mrs Prentice’s claim for compensation and we won £1000 for her post traumatic stress disorder.
