  • Cauda Equina Syndrome Claims

    Cauda equina syndrome is a condition that occurs when an injury or herniated disk compresses nerve roots at the bottom of your spinal cord, causing back pain, weakness, incontinence and even paralysis. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can result in permanent disability.

  • Diabetes Misdiagnosis Claims

    Failing to follow correct procedures when diagnosing or treating diabetes can lead to delayed or incorrect diagnosis – with serious, long-term consequences for your health.

  • Meningitis Misdiagnosis Claims

    Meningitis is a medical emergency. If healthcare professionals fail to recognise symptoms quickly enough, it can result in brain damage, septicaemia, sight loss, or other severe complications.

  • Sepsis Negligence Claims

    If medical professionals fail to diagnose sepsis early enough – by missing early symptoms or through delayed referral or antibiotics treatment – it can have devastating consequences.
