FAQs About Medical Negligence Claims in Ireland
Some of the most common questions I hear include:
1. What is medical negligence?
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to a patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, delays in treatment, or failure to act on test results.
2. How long do I have to bring a medical negligence claim?
Generally, you have two years from the date of injury to start legal proceedings. It's always best to seek legal advice as early as possible so your case can be properly assessed and investigated within that timeframe.
3. How do I know if I have a case?
If you believe you were harmed because of a medical mistake or poor care, I can help you assess whether a claim may be possible. We’ll start with a no-pressure conversation where I’ll listen to your concerns and explain your options clearly.
4. Will making a claim affect my ongoing medical treatment?
No — making a claim shouldn’t impact your current care. In fact, many clients continue to receive treatment from the same hospital or practice during their claim. Your wellbeing and recovery remain the priority.
5. What can a medical negligence claim achieve?
A successful claim can provide compensation for your pain and suffering, medical costs, ongoing care, lost income, and future support. It can also bring answers and accountability where mistakes were made.
