McMahon Goldrick Solicitors, Dublin are endorsed by Spinal Injuries Ireland to act on behalf of its members and also represents the Organisation itself.
I worked with Ralph for 22 years and it was a pleasure to do so. He has acted for Spinal Injuries Ireland and its members since 1993. He has acted as an advisor to the Board, been a member of the Fundraising Committee and also the Transitional Housing Programme Committee. Integrity and professionalism are assured and it is these qualities combined with his experience and indeed that of his Partner Jessica Goldrick that gave me total comfort when referring members to him. They go about their work with a total empathy for the member and of course this is also of crucial importance. I cannot recommend Ralph and Jessica highly enough.
Ralph, the first thing on my ‘to do’ list was to email you to say a big thank you to you and to Jessica for all the support you gave to me over the past year.
I received a stellar service from your firm and most particularly Jessica who was a delight to deal with. While the outcome was beyond my expectations, so too was the service I received from your firm. I will be in touch with Jessica separately to thank her

What is a Cauda Equina Syndrome?
Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) arises when the bundle of nerves at the end of the spinal cord, known as the cauda equina, is compressed. This compression usually occurs in the lumbar region of the spine and affects both motor and sensory nerves crucial for leg movement and bladder control. CES can severely impair sensation and mobility, particularly affecting the nerves that govern bladder and bowel function.
The Urgency of Treatment
Causes and Symptoms
CES can result from various factors, including slipped discs, lower back injuries, tumors, infections, birth defects, and medical negligence. Common symptoms include urinary retention, lower back pain, incontinence, sexual dysfunction, sciatica, and numbness in the saddle area, legs, and groin. Immediate medical attention is advised upon noticing these symptoms to avoid severe consequences.
Diagnostic and Treatment Procedures
An MRI is typically conducted to diagnose CES, determining the necessity for emergency surgery. Immediate treatment aims to alleviate nerve pressure, minimising the risk of permanent damage, paralysis, pain, or loss of sexual sensation.

Instances Leading to Cauda Equina Compensation Claims
Compensation claims for CES primarily arise in two scenarios: substandard surgical procedures leading to CES or the failure of a GP or doctor to recognise and appropriately treat CES symptoms, exacerbating the patient’s condition.
The Impact of CES on Quality of Life
A CES diagnosis can profoundly affect an individual’s life, necessitating surgical intervention and leading to significant physical and social challenges. The emotional toll, alongside the physical implications, can alter everyday life, impacting mobility and employment. Rehabilitation and therapy become critical components of the recovery process.
The Role of Cauda Equina Solicitors
At McMahon Goldrick, we understand the significant impact of CES on individuals and their families. While compensation cannot undo the physical and psychological strains endured, it can provide essential support and resources for affected individuals. Our dedicated legal team of Cauda Equina Solicitors are highly qualified when it comes to cauda equina compensation claims in Ireland. We aim to secure the necessary compensation to support our clients’ rehabilitation and therapy needs.
