Medical Negligence Claims in Ireland
Medical negligence, also referred to as clinical negligence, occurs where a doctor, hospital, healthcare professional, or other medical provider fails to provide appropriate care or treatment resulting in injury to a patient.
In some cases, it may be immediately apparent that a medical error occurred. In other situations, careful investigation and independent expert medical review may be required to determine whether negligent treatment caused or contributed to a patient’s injury.
Medical negligence claims can often involve complex medical and legal issues. Choosing an experienced solicitor is important in guiding patients and families through the investigation and litigation process.
Martin Kerrigan has extensive experience advising clients throughout Ireland in relation to medical negligence claims and healthcare related litigation. He has represented individuals and families in a wide range of cases involving serious injury, delayed diagnosis, surgical negligence, fatal injury claims, and other complex medical negligence matters.
