How to Get Compensation for Cauda Equina Syndrome Disability
If you or a loved one are struggling with significant disability following substandard medical care of cauda equina syndrome, contact a legal specialist to assess whether or not you are entitled to make a claim for compensation.
Cauda equina syndrome disability
Developing cauda equina syndrome can be a shocking and life-changing experience. Without timely medical intervention, the patient may face a lifetime of loss of mobility and double incontinence.
Tasks which once seemed easy and activities that were once taken for granted can become hurdles and challenges to getting through the day. Many forms of employment may no longer be possible.
For some individuals, it may be necessary to engage some degree of personal care to help with daily household and hygiene chores.
The associated financial costs and closes can be astronomical.
Negligent medical care of cauda equina syndrome
If medical professionals have contributed to a poor outcome, which would not have been the case with an acceptable level of care, it may be possible to make a claim for compensation.
Actions or failures of action which result in a delay in diagnosis and surgery may be regarded as negligent. This could include a failure to examine, a failure of diagnosis, a delay in making a referral for an MRI scan, a failure of red flag warnings and a delay in the commencement of decompression surgery.
How to Get Compensation
In order to make a claim for compensation for medical negligence, it is necessary to demonstrate both that your medical care was negligent in some way, and that the act of negligence caused you to suffer a worse outcome than should have been the case giving the circumstances at the time.
A specialist medical negligence solicitor will be able to obtain copies of your medical records and engage medical experts to analyse your records for evidence of negligence.
Once this has been carried out, and if evidence of negligence has been found, then an assessment of its impact on you and your quality of life will be carried out, again through the expertise of specialists in this field, to calculate the value of your claim.
