Loss of Earnings and Cauda Equina Syndrome Medical Negligence
If you are struggling with the appalling symptoms of cauda equina syndrome due to negligent medical care, your loss of earnings may be a large part of your claim.
Cauda equina syndrome and employment
Cauda equina syndrome can have a significant impact on a person's ability to work and earn a living. The debilitating symptoms of incontinence and loss of mobility can affect employment in a variety of ways:
- Your loss of mobility or restricted mobility may mean that you are no longer able to carry on with the type of work you previously undertook, causing you to suffer a loss of income
- Your wind or faecal incontinence symptoms may make it impossible to continue with the type of work you previously carried out
- You may need urgent access to toilet facilities, affecting the type and location of employment which you are able to undertake
- The combined impact of your symptoms may mean that you struggle to work at all or only for limited hours
If you are found to have suffered from negligent care during the medical management of your cauda equina compression, you should be legally entitled to make a claim for compensation.
A successful compensation claim could take account of the income which you have lost since the negligence occurred as well as your future anticipated loss of earnings.
Making a claim for compensation
As can be imagined, compensation claims for medical negligence can be extremely complicated. Not only is it necessary to investigate the quality of the patient's care to identify whether or not they have been the victim of negligence, but it is also essential to assess the damage which has been done and its impact on the patient's quality of life.
If you are considering making a claim, it is essential to speak with a solicitor who specialises in this area of law. They will be able to carry out all the necessary complex procedures, assessments and calculations and ensure that, where appropriate, they negotiate the best settlement on your behalf.
