Cauda Equina Syndrome Compensation Claims

We also help with securing early interim payments, to cover loss of income and to assist with any immediate financial needs.

In most cases we will arrange ‘After the Event’ (ATE) insurance on your behalf to cover expenses such as court and expert fees and any legal costs awarded against you should you lose your claim. However, if you have a ‘Before the Event’ (BTE) insurance policy included in your home, car or credit card insurance then we will look to use that insurance to cover the legal costs and an ATE policy should not then be needed

When we win a claim, some of your legal costs are likely to be paid by those responsible for your injury or illness, and this liability is often covered by an insurance company. Our agreement with you will usually state that a percentage of your compensation, which we will agree with you at the outset, will be paid to us to contribute to the work that we have done for you. We will also charge a success fee for taking the risk of not being paid if the claim isn’t successful.  For certainty we will give a guaranteed cap as to the percentage of compensation that we will charge.

Where appropriate, we will seek to secure early payments to help people where they are suffering financial hardship, to fund rehabilitation and to assist with employment issues.

We are also able to arrange trusts to ensure that benefits are protected and offer assistance with any court of protection issues, for those who are unable to manage their own financial affairs following their accident.
