outcome than should have been the case, it is possible that you may be
able to make a claim for compensation.
Talk to a specialist solicitor.
Cauda equina syndrome delays
A time-sensitive condition, cauda equina compression requires prompt and competent medical care to prevent the patient suffering a lifetime of lower body disability.
Unfortunately, a delay can occur for a number of reasons whilst the patient is in hospital:
- A medical practitioner may not recognise the symptoms as indicative of compression of the cauda equina nerves
- A referral for an MRI scan may be delayed
- The carrying out of an MRI scan may be delayed, especially if the hospital or medical centre does not have 24-hour, seven-day-a-week provision
- Scan results may be delayed or misinterpreted
- The initiation of decompression surgery may be delayed
How to make a claim
The first step is to talk to a specialist medical negligence solicitor with experience of these complex and often high-value claims.
They will obtain copies of your medical records and carry out an investigation to establish both the presence of any negligence in the course of your care as well as identifying the impact which nay negligence has had on your long-term outcome.
This requires the input of the best medical experts, which a specialist solicitor will have access to.
If negligence has played a role in your outcome, the next step will be to identify the ways in which it has affected your quality of life and financial situation.
It may be that you are suffering symptoms of reduced mobility and double incontinence which, not surprisingly, can absolutely devastate the way in which you live your life.
You may be struggling to work, you may require household support or adaptations and you may require specialist equipment and treatment.
The financial implications of such consequences would be reflected in your claim.
