How does Medical Negligence occur?

As patients, we trust our medical experts to care for us when we need it most. However, mistakes can be made that leave us at risk of avoidable injury, illness, or pain.

Sometimes, medical practitioners injure, cause loss of quality of life, or even can contribute to a death due to their negligence.

From avoidable pain to emotional trauma, medical negligence can have a severe impact on your well-being.

An error occurred while performing surgery
A patient was misdiagnosed or there is a delay in diagnosing an illness or injury that could lead to negligent treatment
An illness or medical need was not noticed by a medical practitioner
The standard of care provided by a medical practitioner was below expectation

If the wrong medicine has been prescribed
Substandard preoperative care – not communicating the risks involved in surgery
If a patient contracts an illness or worsens as a result of substandard clinical hygiene
In the aftermath of surgery, foreign bodies or surgical instruments that are left inside the patient

Medical Negligence FAQ's

1. Is there a time limit before engaging with a solicitor?

Legal proceedings must be commenced within two years of the date of knowledge of the injury, subject to certain exceptions. In a lawsuit, the ‘date of knowledge’ refers to the date on which the plaintiff knew or ought to have known that he or she had suffered an injury.

An important exception is in the case of persons under the age of 18, who are described in law as minors or infants. For minors, the Statute of Limitations ‘clock’ does not begin until a child reaches their eighteenth birthday. For more information see Child Injury Claims.

2. What will compensation cover?

Compensation for a brain injury claim may cover medical expenses, lost wages, future medical bills, future lost earnings, and will take into account the impact of the injury on the individual’s quality of life. Our brain injury solicitors assess each case thoroughly to determine an outcome that is in your best interests.

3. How do I access my medical records?

A copy of your medical records can be requested from the hospital, clinic, or medical professional that treated you under the Freedom of Information Act. Alternatively, we can arrange to obtain a copy of your records on your behalf; to do so, you will need to sign an authority form that gives us permission to obtain your records.

4. What does 'No Win, No Fee' mean?

The concept of “no win, no fee” (also known as “no foal, no fee”) is common practice among solicitors in Ireland. Under this type of agreement, the solicitor will take on your personal injury or any other type of case, and if the case isn’t won, the solicitor won’t charge you a fee. The sole purpose of “no win, no fee” is to give you the legal power to pursue a claim regardless of your financial state or legal experience.

5. How Long will the Medical Negligence claim take?

As a term used in personal injury litigation, general damages refer to the amount placed on the victim’s pain and suffering, which may include psychological trauma, loss of consortium, etc. In essence, general damages relate to non-monetary losses suffered by the claimant and which are not capable of exact quantification.

The term special damages refers to monetary losses that are quantifiable, such as medical treatment expenses or income loss that has been certified. These are consequential financial losses suffered by you which are directly to the negligent treatment and harm caused.

In other words, these are ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses incurred which might also include the cost of corrective surgery or treatment, medication, rehabilitation costs, travel expenses, and so on.
