Dianne Willmore, who passed from mesothelioma in 2009, won a landmark £240,000 case, holding Knowsley Borough Council liable for her asbestos exposure during school. Her case prompted legal and financial ramifications for local authorities nationwide, leading to increased awareness and changes in asbestos-related negligence proceedings.

What should I do if I suffer medical negligence in Ireland?
If you believe you have received substandard medical treatment, or have been misdiagnosed or received a delayed diagnosis, you should contact a medical negligence solicitor. Your medical negligence solicitor will review your medical records and instruct an independent medical expert to advise whether your treatment was substandard in their professional opinion.
- Have you had a surgical procedure that did not turn out as it should?
- Have you been left in pain, or do you continue to suffer from physical discomfort or physical scarring?
- Have you been misdiagnosed or had a delayed diagnosis of cancer or another serious illness affecting your health?
Any injury suffered during a medical procedure, whether physical or psychological, may have long-term effects on the victim and their families. Our medical negligence solicitors have assisted many clients in recovering maximum damages, and we believe in putting our clients’ needs first.

The claim process
1. Seek legal assistance
The first step in making a medical negligence claim is to seek the assistance of a medical negligence solicitor who specialises in this area of law. Choosing a qualified and experienced medical negligence solicitor is essential, as they will provide guidance and support throughout the process.
2. Consult with a medical expert
The medical expert will examine your medical records and provide a medical expert report advising if you have received substandard medical treatment in their professional opinion.
3. Prepare a medical report
Based on the medical expert’s opinion, your solicitor will prepare a medical report detailing the extent of your injuries and their impact on your life. This report will be used as evidence in your case.
4. Issue legal proceedings
If the report supports your claim, your solicitor will initiate legal proceedings. This involves filing court documents and serving them on the defendant.
Note: The Personal Injuries Assessment Board does not handle medical negligence claims. Therefore, the only way to resolve them is through negotiation with the defendant’s legal representatives or litigation.
Time limits
The legal time limit to make a medical negligence claim is two years from the date of injury or date of knowledge that the injury or illness resulted from medical negligence. For children/minors, the time limit expires two years after their 18th birthday. You may contact a solicitor to discuss your case and advise you of the statute of limitations applicable to your case.
