Financial Claims After Cauda Equina Syndrome Negligence
If you or a loved one have suffered a poor outcome due to negligent medical care of cauda equina syndrome, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation for the financial losses which you have experienced as a result.
Here's when and how to go about it.
If substandard medical care has adversely affected your outcome and left you with worse cauda equina syndrome symptoms than should have been the case, speak to a specialist solicitor about making a claim.
Many cauda equina syndrome claims relate to a delay in diagnosis and surgery, during which time the patient's condition deteriorates and becomes irreversible. They may suffer permanent and debilitating symptoms as a result.
Medical failings which may cause a delay in diagnosis and which may be regarded as negligent could include the following:
- A failure to carry out a thorough assessment of the patient, thereby missing key symptoms
- A failure to recognise that the patient's symptoms may indicate compression of the cauda equina nerves
- A failure to make a timely referral for an MRI scan
- A failure to provide the patient with red flag advice which should prompt them to attend hospital should their symptoms worsen
If this scenario applies to you and you suspect that your outcome should have been much better than has proved to be the case, speak to a medical negligence legal specialist as soon as possible.
Don't delay as these claims have a three-year deadline and a lot of investigative work needs to be carried out before this deadline expires.
How to make a claim
The first step is to speak to a legal specialist. It is crucial to contact a solicitor who has significant experience in cauda equina claims. These are highly complex claims, requiring assessments of the patient's care, their current condition, their likely future prognosis and the financial losses which the negligence has caused and will continue to cause them.
Procedural experience and in-depth knowledge of the issues relating to this condition are absolutely crucial to achieving the best settlement of your claim.
