What Compensation Can I Get for Cauda Equina Syndrome Negligence?
Claiming compensation for cauda equina syndrome medical negligence can be a complex process and your first step should be to talk to a specialist solicitor.
Compensation and cauda equina syndrome negligence
The compensation which you may be able to claim for the impact of cauda equina syndrome would depend on a number of factors.
Initially it would need to be clear that an act of negligence has in fact occurred during the medical management of your condition and that it adversely affected your outcome.
That being established, medical experts and a specialist lawyer would then need to assess the extent and nature of the impact of the negligence followed by an assessment of the financial losses which it has caused you.
If your symptoms mean that you are unable to work, are restricted in the hours you can work or restricted in the type of work you can manage, a successful claim would incorporate your loss of earnings. This would apply both to the earnings which you have missed since the negligence occurred as well as your future loss of earnings.
If your symptoms mean that you require specialist equipment in order to mobilise or specialist treatment to try to ameliorate your suffering, such costs could be included in a claim. Likewise, if the severity of your symptoms means that you require some degree of care, be that personal or household, those costs could be included.
In some circumstances, a patient may find that their symptoms of incontinence and mobility loss mean that their existing accommodation no longer meets their needs. Significant alterations may be required and the costs of these can be included in a claim insofar as they relate to the impact of the negligent medical care.
The need for specialist legal input
Once an act of negligence has been identified, the most crucial aspect of a successful compensation claim is the assessment and evaluation of the financial impact which the negligence has caused.
For this, a specialist solicitor and medico-legal experts are absolutely crucial.
They will ensure that every aspect of your life which has been adversely affected by your negligent care is taken into account in your claim and the associated financial costs and losses calculated.
