We handle every aspect of hospital and clinical negligence claims

A claim may arise where hospital, clinical or primary care fell below the standard reasonably expected and caused avoidable harm. This may involve misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, surgical errors or inadequate care. Establishing negligence usually requires an independent medical opinion.

Time limits apply to hospital and clinical negligence claims in Ireland and are generally calculated from the date you became aware of the injury. Different rules may apply to children and in certain circumstances, so we recommend seeking advice promptly.

We typically begin by reviewing your medical records and obtaining an independent expert opinion on the care you received. Where the evidence supports a claim, we will advise you on the next steps and keep you informed throughout the process.

Timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the medical evidence, the extent of the injury and whether responsibility is disputed. Some matters resolve sooner than others, and we will provide a realistic assessment as your case progresses.

We will explain how legal costs and medical expert fees work clearly at your first consultation, so you understand the likely position before making any decision to proceed.
