If you have lost earnings as a result of cauda equina syndrome, you could be in a position to recover the money.
Cauda equina syndrome is a rare condition that is often mismanaged by medical professionals. This is because its symptoms are very similar to other more minor conditions, while many doctors have not even seen a case of cauda equina syndrome during the course of their career.
However, these are not valid excuses. If a patient has cauda equina syndrome, it must be diagnosed and treated in a reasonable amount of time. This will ensure a patient does not suffer long-term problems such as paralysis and urinary dysfunction.
But if there is a failure to do this, the standard of medical care will have fallen below an acceptable level, causing a patient to suffer preventable complications. This will amount to medical negligence and the patient in question will be legally entitled to pursue a cauda equina claim against the GP or NHS Trust responsible.
If you are one such person to have suffered cauda equina complications because of medical negligence, it is important to contact a solicitor about making a cauda equina claim. This will enable you to obtain financial compensation for the damages you have wrongfully encountered.
When people refer to ‘damages’, they are actually talking about two things. Firstly, you are awarded compensation for your general damages, which reflect the pain and suffering you have experienced. Secondly, you are awarded compensation for your special damages, which reflect the acute financial loss you have incurred. This includes a range of losses, including the loss of earnings.
It is important to note that special damages relate to both past and future losses. This is vital, as many people who have cauda equina complications are unable to return to work, such is the nature of their injuries. Many will also require ongoing care and assistance. All this can leave someone in financial dire straits, particularly if their source of income has been lost. However, a cauda equina claim covers these estimated future losses, ensuring you are not left seriously out of pocket because of medical incompetence.
