Maternal Infection Negligence Claims Ireland
Understanding Maternal Infection Claims: What Went Wrong, and What Can You Do Next
If you developed a serious infection during or after pregnancy or birth and feel your care wasn’t what it should have been, I’m here to help you find answers and support — you don’t have to face it alone.
What Are Maternal Infection Negligence Claims in Ireland?
Maternal infection negligence claims arise when infections during pregnancy, labour, or the postnatal period are not properly recognised or treated. If left untreated, these infections can lead to serious complications. A claim may be possible if poor care, delays, or mismanagement led to avoidable harm.
Common Medical Mistakes That Can Lead to Birth Infection Compensation Claims
- Failure to identify or respond to signs of infection after birth
- Delayed diagnosis of Group B Strep, sepsis, or retained products of conception
- Poor hygiene practices during labour or surgery
- Failure to monitor or treat urinary tract infections during pregnancy
- Missed warning signs of infection during postnatal care
- Lack of follow-up or discharge with unresolved symptoms
What You Might Be Feeling
You may be feeling upset, angry, or dismissed, especially if your concerns weren’t taken seriously or if you were discharged too soon. If you suffered serious illness or long-term complications after childbirth due to an infection, I can help you understand what happened and whether you may have a claim.

Have Questions About Infection Claims? You’re Not Alone
Here are some of the questions I’m most often asked:
You might find some of your questions answered below — and if not, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
1. What types of maternal infections do you deal with?
I handle cases involving sepsis, Group B Strep, infections from retained placenta or products of conception, urinary tract infections, and post-surgical or postnatal infections.
2. How do I know if the infection was due to poor care?
If there was a delay in recognising symptoms, failure to act on test results, or you were discharged despite signs of infection, there may be grounds for a claim. I can help assess this for you.
3. How long do I have to bring a claim?
You generally have two years from the date of injury. However, it’s best to get advice as soon as you can.
4. What can a successful claim achieve?
Compensation can support your recovery, cover ongoing care or lost income, and help you get answers and closure about what went wrong.
