Cauda equina claims & compensation in Ireland

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.

What is cauda equina syndrome (CES)?

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. 

Claiming for cauda equina syndrome compensation

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.

Cauda equina claims limitation period (time limit) in Ireland

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.
