What is Medical Neglience?
Medical negligence, also known as clinical negligence, occurs when a healthcare provider breaches their duty of care, leading to avoidable injury, illness or loss. This may include the HSE, private hospitals, GPs, consultants and dentists. You may have a valid claim if a mistake or failure in medical care has caused you physical or psychological harm that could have been avoided with proper treatment.
To make a successful claim, it must be proven that:
- The care you received fell below an acceptable standard, and
- This directly caused or worsened your injury or condition.
