Meet Laura Croke – Specialist Medical Negligence Solicitor in Cork and Ireland
I’m Laura Croke, solicitor and founder of Croke Medical Law. When you contact my firm, you’ll speak directly with me — not a team of junior solicitors or assistants. I personally handle every case from start to finish, guiding you through each step with care and expertise.
As a specialist medical negligence solicitor based in Cork, I work exclusively in medical negligence claims across Ireland. I’ve supported injured adults and children who have suffered due to misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, and hospital negligence. My goal is to help you find answers, seek justice, and secure the outcome you deserve.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to take that first step. That’s why I focus on making the process clear, straightforward, and as stress-free as possible.
My promise is simple: expert medical negligence advice, honest answers, and personal support — so you can understand your options and move forward with confidence.

Medical Negligence FAQs
If you’ve experienced an injury or loss due to a medical error, misdiagnosis, or hospital negligence, it’s natural to have questions and feel unsure about what comes next.
Here are some of the questions I’m most often asked:
1. How do I know if I have a medical negligence case?
If you believe a medical error has caused you harm, I can help you figure out if you have a case. We’ll start with a simple, no-pressure chat where I’ll listen and explain your options.
2. How much does it cost to speak with you?
There is a strict prohibition on advertising No Win No Fee claims which means I cannot publicly state whether I offer No Win No Fee as a funding option to my clients. However, I can explain the funding options available to you during your initial consultation. In the meantime, you can learn more about “no win no fee” by reading my guide: ‘No Win No Fee’ in Ireland explained.
3. What happens if I decide to move forward?
If you’d like to take the next step, I’ll personally handle your case and guide you through the entire process, keeping things straightforward and stress-free.
You might find some of your questions answered below — and if not, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
In contentious business, a solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.
