When to make a claim for compensation
If you or a loved one suspect that you have been the victim of negligence in the course of medical management of cauda equina compression and its associated syndrome, it is essential that you consult a legal specialist.
Bear in mind that a claim for compensation for medical negligence must be issued with a court within three years form the date of the alleged negligence. An investigation in to the patient's medical care needs to be carried out before this deadline in order to ascertain whether or not there has been a breach of duty.
A successful claim relies on the accurate identification of negligence, the demonstration that this has contributed to the patient's poor outcome and a meticulous assessment of the impact on the client.
With cauda equina syndrome, the impact may include a significant loss of income, the need for specialist treatment and equipment and the adaptation of the patient's home in order to ensure that they can navigate around it safely.
Examples of negligent care could include the following:
- A failure of examination
- A failure of diagnosis or a misdiagnosis
- A failure to make a referral for an MRI scan
- A failure of red flag symptoms
- A delay in initiating surgery
