Complex claims
Cauda equina syndrome, the result of compression of the cauda equina nerves in the lumbar region of the back, is a complex condition. It does not develop in precisely the same way or at the same rate for everyone. As a progressive condition, a delay in a medical diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference to the patient’s outcome but this will not be the same for everyone.
Consequently, making a compensation claim for negligence in the medical care of this shocking spinal condition can be extremely complex. Identifying whether negligence has occurred, at what point and what impact it has had, if any, on the patient’s outcome is a highly complex process, requiring the best medical experts.
At the start of a claim, the patient’s medical records will be scrutinised for evidence of negligence on the part of the professionals involved in their care and, where appropriate, the impact which substandard care has had on the patient’s long-term outcome.
Moulding this information into a comprehensive, compelling and coherent claim, adhering to all the necessary procedures and deadlines is a complex matter, requiring the input, expertise and overview of a highly experienced solicitor.
Assessing a claim
The symptoms associated with cauda equina syndrome can be life-changing. The cocktail of loss of mobility, loss of sexual function and double incontinence can devastate an individual’s quality of life, their ability to work and their self-confidence.
The broader impact on their day-to-day experience can be overwhelming and financially challenging.
A successful claim needs to recognise fully the breadth of the impact that negligence has had on the life of the patient. Where their ability to work has been compromised, or their ability to care for themselves or their household and home has been reduced, the financial losses and associated costs need to be taken into account.
