If you are thinking about making a claim for Cauda Equina Syndrome, you need to get the right legal assistance on your side. However, with so many medical negligence solicitors to choose from, who exactly should you pick? To help you decide, we have put together a few questions you need to ask when selecting a cauda equina solicitor.
How to choose a medical negligence solicitor
If you have typed ‘medical negligence solicitors’ or ‘cauda equina claims’ (or something similar) into your search engine, your results page will feature hundreds of law firms offering their legal assistance. And while it’s always good to have plenty of options, it can be slightly daunting, as it can be difficult to know who to choose.
To help you find the right person for the job, there are certain questions you need to consider when you call for an initial consultation:-
Have you got the necessary skill and expertise?
Cauda Equina Syndrome is a rare condition, and consequently cauda equina claims can be very complex cases to run. It is therefore vital your solicitor has experience in dealing with such claims, and has access to a number of medical experts that will be able to assist with your case. This will ensure your claim has the best chance of success.
How will I fund my claim?
You need to ask what funding options are available. Ideally you will want to fund your claim through your legal expenses insurance (if you have it) or through a no win no fee. Both these options guarantee that you will not have to pay a penny when you make a claim, irrespective of whether you win or lose.
Do I like you?
Lastly, ask yourself the question: do I like you? Cauda equina claims can take years to settle and you will be working closely with your solicitor during that time. This means it is very important to instruct someone you like and trust.
