How Much Will A Cauda Equina Claim Cost Me?

If you are thinking of making a claim for Cauda Equina Syndrome, you may have concerns about how much you will have to pay. In this article we take a closer look at how much a medical negligence claim could cost you, as well as how much you could be entitled to receive.

Will I have to pay to make a cauda equina claim?

If you have been harmed because medical professionals did not appropriately manage your Cauda Equina Syndrome, you will be considered the victim of medical negligence. For example, if treatment was delayed because doctors did not make a timely diagnosis, it is very likely your condition was adversely affected. You may be left with urinary dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, partial or total paralysis or constant back and leg pain. If so, it can be said that your injuries were the direct result of medical error.

Anyone who suffers because of medical error will be entitled to make a medical negligence claim. If successful, you will receive compensation for:-

1. Your pain, suffering a loss of amenity (known as general damages). Negligently managed Cauda Equina Syndrome often leads to a large amount of pain and suffering for the patient, so the sum of general damages is usually very high.

2. Your acute financial loss (known as special damages). This covers any money you have lost because of your injury, including loss of earnings, medical treatment, travel expenses and domestic assistance.

Once an appropriate compensation settlement is agreed with the other side, you will receive this sum less any deductions for agreed legal costs. All funding options will be discussed with you at the beginning of your claim.
