Cauda Equina Syndrome Claims
If mistreated or diagnosed too late, cauda equina syndrome can cause devastating side effects. We can help you claim for compensation to help make the path forward a little easier.
Claiming compensation for cauda equina syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome is a condition that occurs when an injury or herniated disk compresses nerve roots at the bottom of your spinal cord. It can cause back pain, weakness, incontinence, and even paralysis.
While swift surgical treatment can prevent permanent complications, sometimes treatment isn’t administered quickly enough. A delay in diagnosing and treating cauda equina syndrome can lead to permanent disability. It’s vital the signs and symptoms are taken seriously.
Failing to diagnose and treat cauda equina syndrome can have serious and long-term effects, including:
- Incontinence
- Loss of mobility
- Paralysis
- Sexual dysfunction
- Severe pain
We help those who have needlessly experienced poor treatment for cauda equina syndrome claim compensation.
