Recovering Financial Losses Due to Cauda Equina Syndrome Negligence
Speak to a legal specialist if you are struggling with the impact of cauda equina syndrome and suspect that you may have been the victim of negligent medical care.
Cauda equina syndrome delays
As a generally progressive condition, time is of the essence in the medical management of cauda equina syndrome. Delays in diagnosis and surgery can leave a patient suffering with extreme disability and highly costly consequences.
If such delays are found to have been the result of negligent medical care, the patient is legally entitled to claim compensation for the financial losses which they have suffered but which would not have been the case has the negligence not occurred.
Cauda equina syndrome and possible financial impact
A patient with cauda equina syndrome may struggle with loss of mobility, double incontinence and loss of sexual function. Not surprisingly, the associated consequences can be wide-ranging including the following:
- An inability, or reduced ability, to work
- A need to retrain or find alternative employment due to the impact of the patient's symptoms on the suitability of their current work
- A significant loss of income both past and future
- A reliance on mobility support such as a wheelchair
- A reliance on some degree of personal and household care
- A loss of ability to engage with social and leisure activities
- The need for alterations to be carried out to their home to provide access
- The need for specialist equipment or treatment to help manage their symptoms
Depending on the age, circumstances and needs of the patient, the combined financial losses and costs can be significant.
A successful compensation claim can address those financial losses insofar as they have been caused by negligent care of the patient's condition.
Speak to a medical negligence specialist
Compensation claims for cauda equina syndrome negligence are highly complex. The best medical experts are required to analyse the quality of the patient's care and identify if and where the level of care has fallen below that which the patient might reasonable have expected.
If medical negligence has played a role in the patient's poor outcome, a knowledgeable and comprehensive assessment is necessary to identify the extent of the impact of the negligence and the associated financial losses.
Getting the support of a legal medical negligence specialist is essential.
