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.
