New Glynns Guide to CES and Compensation Claims
In order to support those individuals whose experience of cauda equina syndrome has been exacerbated by medical negligence, we have produced a new guide which address the key questions you need to ask.
Cauda equina syndrome negligence
Cauda equina syndrome can be a time-sensitive condition and is often regarded as a medical emergency.
Its progressive nature means that an early diagnosis and prompt treatment can often mean the difference between recovery of function and permanent symptoms of incontinence and loss of lower body mobility.
Although cauda equina syndrome is a fairly rare condition, it is essential that medical professionals recognise the possible early symptoms and the need to assess their patient for any additional symptoms and signs which might suggest a problem with the cauda equina nerves at the base of the spine.
A failure to consider this diagnosis, a delay in making a referral for an MRI scan and a delay in initiating surgery can all allow the patient's condition to deteriorate to the point where their long-term outcome is compromised.
Glynns guide to CES and medical negligence compensation
Our new guide to the medical negligence implications of this appalling condition is available on our website and addresses the following issues:
- What is cauda equina syndrome?
- How is cauda equina syndrome diagnosed and treated?
- What will happen if cauda equina syndrome is not diagnosed and treated?
- Preventing long-term cauda equina problems
- What can I do about negligent cauda equina care?
- How do I make a cauda equina compensation claim?
- Will I have to pay for a CES claim?
It is also important to remember that the law imposes strict time limitations when making a claim for compensation for medical negligence. A medical negligence claim must be initiated within three years of the date of the alleged negligence. If, for example, you believe you were the victim of substandard medical care in February 2019, you need to initiate your claim before February 2022.
