Medical Negligence in Ireland — Understand Your Options
If you believe the medical care you or a family member received fell below an acceptable standard and caused harm, you may wish to understand your legal position. Medical negligence matters in Ireland are complex: they generally require your medical records, an independent expert opinion, and careful assessment by a solicitor before any decision is made.
Areas We Advise On
Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, hospital and HSE care, nursing home care concerns, dental treatment, medication errors, and consent issues.
Important Time Limits
In most cases, proceedings must be commenced within two years from the date of the negligence or the date you first became aware of it. Acting early protects your position.
How We Can Help
We offer an initial consultation with a regulated Irish solicitor to discuss what happened, a medical records request and review service, and a preliminary assessment of whether your matter merits further investigation. If your matter proceeds, the engagement and fee basis are agreed with you in writing before any further work begins.
Book a confidential video consultation (15 minutes, fixed fee) or call 085 804 1664.
