Challenging Negligence in Cauda Equina Syndrome Medical Care
If you suspect that either you or a loved one have been the victim of negligent medical care of cauda equina syndrome, you will need the services of a medical negligence legal specialist to investigate your claim.
If it is found that substandard care did indeed adversely affect your long-term outcome, it may be appropriate to make a claim for compensation.
Challenging the quality of your care
Before a claim for compensation can be submitted to a court, it is necessary to identify if you have experienced negligence in the course of your medical care and to what degree, if any, the act of negligence affected your long-term outcome.
This process is undertaken and overseen by a medical negligence legal specialist.
In the first instance, they will obtain all the relevant medical records. This may involve a number of different medical services such as your GP surgery, various medical centres, hospitals and the ambulance service. Once a clear chronology of events has been established, one or more medical experts will be engaged to analyse the quality of your care.
If it is agreed that you have been the victim of negligence which has caused a negative outcome, your specialist solicitor will be able to pursue your claim and negotiate with the Defendant as to the impact on your life and the financial losses which you have suffered.
With the help of your solicitor, you will also need to develop a witness statement to reflect your experience of the events which have occurred.
Assessing the impact
Negligent medical care in relation to cauda equina syndrome is often related to an unnecessary delay in diagnosis or surgery. The unfortunate outcome of such an occurrence can be that the compression of the nerves increases during that period and your loss of lower body function likewise increases.
The possible consequences of loss of mobility and double incontinence can result in considerable financial losses due, for example, to a loss of income related to your complex symptoms.
The costs of care needs or equipment needs can add to this list of financial losses and would be included in a successful claim insofar as they have been necessitated by the impact of the negligence.
