Elets district hospital will pay the patient 312 thousand rubles after complications from the injection

The Yelets district hospital will pay 312.5 thousand rubles to a woman who developed a severe complication after an intramuscular injection. The court decided to recover money from the medical institution for treatment and compensation for moral damage.

According to the joint press service of the judicial system of the Lipetsk region, the injection of the patient was made in early March 2025 in an outpatient clinic. Immediately after the procedure, she developed Nikolau syndrome - a rare complication accompanied by sharp pain and extensive hematoma at the injection site. Treatment continued until September of the same year.

The woman considered that the complication was a consequence of a violation of the technique of administering the drug and poor-quality medical care. She appealed to the court, demanding 33.5 thousand rubles for compensation for material damage and 1 million rubles as compensation for moral damage.

The court found that deficiencies in the provision of medical care could have contributed to the complications. At the same time, the representatives of the hospital did not provide evidence that would refute the guilt of the medical staff.

The lawsuit was partially satisfied. From the medical institution recovered 12.5 thousand rubles of material damage and 300 thousand rubles of compensation for moral damage.
