Contact us today to speak with an expert.
We understand how absolutely devastating a cauda equina diagnosis can be, particularly when the outcome is life-changing.
Our solicitors are well-versed in the complex needs of those who have developed cauda equina syndrome and we’re here to help.
Cauda equina is a bundle of nerves below the end of the spine. When they are damaged, it is known as cauda equina syndrome which can lead to permanent paralysis and incontinence.
When cauda equina syndrome occurs, it requires emergency hospital admission. The longer cauda equina syndrome goes untreated, the greater the chance of life-changing consequences.
When medical professionals fail to diagnose cauda equina syndrome, or diagnose it as something else, the patient has the right to seek compensation to improve their quality of life.
Such compensation aims to provide the necessary resources for a comfortable life and it is our mission to help make that happen.
As cauda equina syndrome cases can be highly complex, it is crucial to select a solicitor with expertise in this area. A solicitor with experience in handling these types of claims can help guide you through the legal process and provide the necessary support to ensure the best possible outcome.

There is a strict prohibition on advertising No Win No Fee claims which means we cannot publicly state whether we offer No Win No Fee as one of the many case funding options available. You can learn more about this by reading our guide: ‘No Win No Fee’ in Ireland explained.
However, we can explain what funding options are available to you during your initial consultation.
You have a two-year window from the date of the medical negligence that caused cauda equina syndrome to initiate legal proceedings. However, certain circumstances may alter the start date. Unfortunately, some people are unaware of the time restrictions for starting a cauda equina syndrome claim, and as a result, some cases become ineligible for compensation.
Do not delay seeking legal advice.
