What is Medical Negligence?
Also known as medical malpractice or medical misadventure, it occurs when a healthcare provider's actions or omissions deviate from accepted standards, resulting in injury or death to the patient. Most cases involve medical errors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a medical negligence claim?+
If you believe the care you or a loved one received fell below accepted medical standards and caused injury, it is worth seeking advice. Daniel will review the circumstances confidentially and advise on whether the matter merits further investigation.
Is there a time limit on making a claim?+
Medical negligence claims in Ireland are subject to a statutory limitation period, and time can run from the date of knowledge of the injury rather than the date of treatment. Specific limits should be confirmed with Daniel for your situation, so it is best to seek advice as early as possible.
What can I claim for?+
Claims can include compensation for pain and suffering, medical and care costs, loss of earnings, and other financial losses caused by the negligence. We also pursue apologies and admissions of blame where appropriate.
How long does a case usually take?+
Medical negligence cases vary widely depending on complexity, expert evidence and the response of the parties involved. Daniel will give you a realistic outline of the likely timeline once the facts of your case have been assessed.
