Devastating Loss of Mobility and Cauda Equina Compression Negligence
Speak to a specialist solicitor if you are struggling with loss of mobility due to substandard medical care of cauda equina compression.
Loss of mobility and cauda equina syndrome
Imagine if you have unexpectedly lost your mobility.
If you can no longer easily manage everyday tasks which you once took for granted such as cleaning the home, maintaining the garden, doing the shopping, looking after the children and carrying out personal hygiene chores.
Imagine if the sports and hobbies which used to be a big part of your life have now become inaccessible to you. And even socialising feels too hard to engage with.
Imagine if your planned career is now out of reach because of your loss of mobility.
You may even find it hard to make your way around your own home safely because of your debilitating symptoms.
Imagine if it seems that this situation might have been avoided with a better quality of medical care which recognised your symptoms and provided emergency intervention.
Medical intervention and cauda equina syndrome
Compression of the cauda equina nerves can cause loss of mobility if diagnosis and surgery are delayed.
If a patient attends a medical practitioner, either in the GP surgery or in Accident and Emergency, exhibiting the possible symptoms of incomplete cauda equina syndrome, they may require an emergency MRI scan and emergency surgery.
If medical professionals fail to identify their symptoms, fail to recognise their significance or fail to make a timely referral for an MRI scan, the consequences can be devastating.
They may also justify a claim for compensation if the subsequent delay in diagnosis and surgery allows the patient' to suffer loss of mobility which may not have been the case with earlier intervention.
Making a claim
Where appropriate, a successful compensation claim will address the impact of the loss of mobility insofar as it has been caused by medical negligence. This may mean compensating the patient's loss of earnings both in the past and into the future. It may also mean recognising the costs of specialist treatment or personal care and equipment.
It may even mean taking account of the costs of any alterations needed to the patient's home in order to manage their loss of mobility.
