What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence occurs when a hospital, GP, nurse, consultant or healthcare professional fails to provide the level of care that a reasonably competent practitioner would. This failure can result in avoidable injury, delayed diagnosis or worsening of an existing condition.

Common examples include:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

  • Surgical errors

  • Birth injuries

  • Medication mistakes

  • Negligent medical advice

  • Poor aftercare or follow-up

  • Injuries in A&E or urgent care

  • Hospital-acquired infections

If something went wrong with your treatment and you feel it could have been avoided, you may be entitled to bring a medical negligence claim.

How Personal Injury Claims Work

Most personal injury claims in Ireland begin with the Injuries Board (PIAB). We prepare and submit your application, gather medical evidence, and manage the entire process on your behalf.

If the PIAB assessment is not accepted, the claim may proceed to negotiation or court. Our litigation team has extensive experience guiding clients through every stage with calm and confidence.


What You Can Claim For

Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Physical injuries

  • Emotional or psychological trauma

  • Loss of earnings

  • Medical expenses

  • Future rehabilitation costs

Every case is unique. We’ll assess your situation carefully and advise you on what applies.
