Impaired Mobility and Cauda Equina Syndrome Compensation
Contact a legal specialist if you are struggling with the consequences of negligent medical care of cauda equina syndrome.
CES and impaired mobility
If you unexpectedly suffer mobility impairment, it can affect almost every aspect of your life. The way in which you earn your living may rely heavily on your ability to move with ease. Your ability to bring up your family, to undertake household and daily chores and even your ability to care for yourself can be restricted by loss of mobility.
Such function losses are often associated with considerable financial implications. You and your family may experience a significant loss of income. You may need your home to be adapted to accommodate your physical disability and you may require additional support both personally and around the home.
Of course, cauda equina syndrome is associated not only loss of mobility but also often with loss of the ability to control the passing of wind and faeces which can add significantly to an individual's problems and cause long-term psychological issues.
Negligent medical care
Such is the severity of the symptoms of cauda equina syndrome that scrupulous medical care is essential. If the patient is to avoid the appalling outcome described above, they require a diagnosis of cauda equina compression at the earliest possible moment. This requires their medical professionals to recognise not only the implications of the early symptoms but to understand the urgency with which this condition must be addressed.
Any delay in diagnosis or surgery can allow time for the nerve compression and associated function losses to increase. If medical professionals are responsible for such delays, when they had had the opportunity of an earlier diagnosis, they may be regarded as negligent and it may be possible to claim compensation.
If you think that you or a loved one may have been the victim of such negligence, it is important to talk with a legal specialist who has experience with this complex and distressing condition. They will have the expertise to obtain your medical records and carry out an investigation in to the quality of your medical care and its impact on your long-term outcome.
