What Is Medical Negligence?
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.
Types of Medical Negligence Claims Dublin We Handle
Our Dublin-based solicitors specialise in a wide range of medical negligence cases, including but not limited to:
Medical Misdiagnosis Claims
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis can lead to serious complications, progression of illness, or missed opportunities for treatment. Common cases include cancer misdiagnosis, untreated infections and failure to identify life-threatening conditions.
Surgical Negligence Claims
Surgical errors can include operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body or causing avoidable complications. We act for clients injured during general surgery, orthopaedic procedures and cosmetic operations.
Dental Negligence Claims
Dental injuries can involve nerve damage, infection, poorly performed root canals or extractions and cosmetic failures. These cases require expert dental reports and careful legal handling.
Cerebral Palsy & Birth Injury Claims
Mistakes made during pregnancy, labour or delivery can result in lifelong conditions like cerebral palsy. We represent families dealing with the emotional and financial impact of maternity care failures and birth-related trauma.
In addition to these key areas, we also assist with:
- Hospital-acquired infection claims, including MRSA and sepsis due to poor hygiene

Time Limits & Why Early Action Matters
In Ireland, there are strict legal time limits for making a medical negligence claim. Generally, you have two years from the date of negligence or from the date you became aware of the harm caused. Certain exceptions apply, particularly in cases involving children or those with diminished capacity, but we recommend seeking legal advice as early as possible.
In addition, it allows us to gather essential evidence, obtain medical records and secure expert opinions while the details are still fresh.
