A man from Middlesbrough was left "inches from death" after developing sepsis following a catastrophic injury resulting from the wall in his back garden collapsing. Andrew was featured on BBC One's Northern Justice programme yesterday (Thursday, September 29), which followed his fight for justice.
TeessideLive reports how his "poorly maintained" back garden wall caved in, causing him to suffer the devastating injury to his hand. Days later, someone noticed that Andrew - who doesn't want to reveal his surname - was acting in a confused way.
He was rushed to intensive care and underwent emergency surgery on his hand, which had become septic. His condition was so serious that Andrew was close to losing his hand and possibly his arm.
