What is a medical negligence claim*?

A medical negligence claim* for compensation* is when you suffer a personal injury due to medical care below a standard any other medical professional would provide. 

It may be the GP who misses the early signs of diabetes or the oncologist who gives you a misdiagnosis of cancer, but if the medical negligence affects you, you could have a compensation claim*.

Many people in Ireland may not even realise they are a victim of medical negligence. They have known the GP for years and cannot believe that the doctor got the diagnosis wrong. The other side of the coin is that the medical negligence may have you off work, needing more intensive care and suffering a delay in beginning treatment.

The medical negligence may be due to long waiting lists, staff shortages and the medical professional being overworked, but none of that is your fault. You suffered the misdiagnosis of cancer or the missed diagnosis of a stroke and are suffering as a result.

You make a compensation claim* for the medical negligence and its impact on your life and that of your loved ones. The legal process to claim compensation may be complex, but with the right solicitor on your side, you will get through it.

PBN Litigation Solicitors will be at your side from day one and can make the medical negligence claim* for you.

Making a medical negligence claim* in Ireland

Making a medical negligence claim* in Ireland can be difficult at times, but you can take a few simple steps to make the compensation claim* easier for you and your family. 

It can be hard to lift yourself when ill or recovering from a severe illness, but it is best to make the medical negligence claim* as soon as possible. Having the details fresh in your mind, having the medical evidence clear for the record and knowing who to claim against will make the compensation claim* easier to process.

Following these few simple steps will make the claims process a lot easier for you.

It may seem obvious, but finding a good medical negligence solicitor will simplify everything about making a compensation claim*. 

A good medical negligence solicitor will have the experience to handle your claim. They will have a team in place to concentrate on your claim and know how to handle every part of the case.

The solicitor will immediately ask you to start gathering evidence: after all, the only way you can prove medical negligence is by showing the proof you suffered it.

You will have to get your medical records, possibly meet with medical experts to assess your injuries, and put into writing everything that happened from day one.

Making contact with the other side may sound like something from a sci-fi movie, but it is a serious part of making a medical negligence claim*. Your solicitor will have to present the claim when it is ready and make it against the correct party.

A medical negligence solicitor will know exactly who to contact on the other side of the negligence claim. It could be the HSE, the hospital authority, or the private medical provider’s insurance company, but the solicitor will do it for you.

Negotiation with the other side is critical in receiving compensation for medical negligence. If your case is strong, the other side will want to negotiate and settle on an acceptable level of compensation.

Your solicitor should not have any fears when going up against the solicitors or the insurance company representing the negligent party.

They will negotiate on your behalf and advise you when to take an acceptable offer of compensation.
