Cauda equina claims Bristol

When can I claim for cauda equina syndrome?

Cauda equina syndrome is often described as a rare condition, but it does have a high medico-legal profile. This is because mistakes are often made in the diagnosis and treatment of cauda equina syndrome, and this in turn causes a patient significant pain and suffering.

If the medical care provided is deemed to have fallen below an acceptable standard, there will be grounds for a compensation claim. As mentioned above, errors normally relate to the diagnosis and treatment of cauda equina syndrome.

These errors may have been made in one or more of the following areas of medicine:

• General Practice (GPs)
• Emergency services
• Accident and Emergency
• Radiology
• Admitting team
• Surgical team

What should I do next to make a claim in Bristol?

If you think your cauda equina care fell below an acceptable standard, you need to find out if it amounts to medical negligence. To clarify this, you must speak to a solicitor who specialises in clinical negligence law and, if possible, also specialises in cauda equina claims.

A solicitor will listen to the details of your care and the injuries you have been left with. After getting all this information from you, you will be given expert legal advice. During this you will be told whether there is a case of medical negligence and whether there are grounds to pursue a medical negligence claim.

Speaking to a solicitor is therefore the easiest way to establish your legal position. It simply takes a short telephone conversation with a solicitor for you to find out if you are able to claim compensation for cauda equina syndrome.

What happens during a cauda equina claim?

If you can make a compensation claim for cauda equina syndrome, your solicitor will run the case for you. It will involve getting your medical records, obtaining a witness statement from you, getting a medical expert to write a report on your condition and negotiating a compensation settlement with the other side. You will need to have some involvement in the case, but your solicitor will do the majority of the work on your behalf.
