Do I Have A Claim?

To make a successful claim, we need to establish three things:


Duty of Care: The hospital or medical staff owed you a standard of care.
 
Breach of Duty: That standard of care was not met (i.e negligence occurred).
 
Causation: The negligence directly caused or contributed to your injury or worsening condition.


We will investigate your medical records, consult independent experts if needed and handle all communication with the hospital or insurer involved. We want to secure the compensation you deserve and to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Common injuries from A&E Negligence

A&E errors can lead to a range of serious health consequences, including:


  • Stroke or heart attack misdiagnosis

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is an A&E claim?

    An A&E claim is a type of medical negligence claim that arises when a patient suffers harm due to poor treatment in an Accident & Emergency department. This may include delays in diagnosis, failure to recognise serious symptoms, incorrect treatment or mistakes made during emergency care. If you were injured or your condition worsened because of avoidable errors, you may be entitled to pursue compensation.

  • What are common examples of A&E negligence?

    Common examples include misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, failure to refer a patient for urgent scans or specialist care, incorrectly discharging a patient too soon, medication errors or failing to identify serious injuries such as head trauma, sepsis, fractures or internal bleeding. Even in a busy hospital environment, A&E departments must still meet an acceptable standard of care.

  • How do I prove an A&E negligence claim in Ireland?

    To prove an A&E negligence claim, you generally need to show that the standard of care you received fell below what was reasonable and that this caused you harm or made your condition worse. Evidence may include medical records, test results, consultant reports, and expert medical opinions. We will guide you through the process and help gather the documentation needed to support your case.
