الإهمال الطبي في إيرلندا يحظى بالكثير من الاهتمام الإخباري اليوم. ومع التخفيضات، أوجه القصور، والاكتظاظ، ونقص التمويل في هيئة الخدمات الصحية (HSE)، فإن الإهمال الطبي يحدث بشكل متزايد. 

ليس من غير المألوف سماع أخبار على الراديو أو قراءة مقالات عبر الإنترنت حول حالات الإهمال الطبي وتأثيرها المدمر على العائلات في إيرلندا. 

يخضع نظام الرعاية الصحية الإيرلندي لضغط هائل، بسبب زيادة عدد السكان والأعداد القياسية للمرضى.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، شهد عدد الأطباء الأيرلنديين المهاجرين إلى الخارج زيادة بلغت 44%. ويشير العاملون في الخطوط الأمامية إلى إصابتهم بالإرهاق، بينما لا تزال قوائم الانتظار لإجراء العمليات الجراحية عند أعلى مستوياتها على الإطلاق.

يعمل العاملون في مجال الرعاية الصحية في أيرلندا بلا توقف على رعاية المرضى من خلال تقديم خدمات الصحة الجسدية والنفسية في جميع أنحاء أيرلندا لتوفير أفضل مستوى ممكن من الرعاية. 

في المستشفيات العامة والخاصة، يقع على عاتق الطاقم الطبي واجب حماية صحتك. وقد تحدث أخطاء جسيمة في العلاج الطبي، مما قد يؤدي إلى إهمال سريري أو إهمال طبي.

إذا تعرضت أنت أو أحد أفراد عائلتك لإصابة، أو تشخيص خاطئ، أو تأخير في العلاج، أو تشخيص فائت على يد أخصائي طبي، فقد يؤثر ذلك بشكل خطير على صحتك. إن اكتشاف تلقيك رعاية دون المستوى أدت إلى تأخير تعافيك، أو تسببت لك في إصابة لا يمكن التراجع عنها، قد يكون أمراً صعباً ولا يزيد الطين إلا بلة. وخاصة عندما يستطيع المستشفى أو الأخصائيون الطبيون الدفاع بقوة عن هذه القضايا.

في أوقات كهذه، ستحتاج إلى خبرة وفهم محامٍ متمرس في قضايا الإهمال الطبي ليوجهك خلال ما قد يكون إجراءً قانونيًا معقدًا يصعب مواجهته بمفردك.

جدول المحتويات

الإهمال الطبي هو فشل مقدم الرعاية الصحية في تقديم مستوى الرعاية المناسب، مما يؤدي إلى إلحاق الضرر بالمريض.

تنشأ دعوى الإهمال الطبي عندما يتلقى المريض علاجاً طبياً يقل عن مستوى الرعاية المعتاد الذي يجب أن يتلقاه من أخصائي طبي، ويعاني المريض نتيجة مباشرة لذلك العلاج. 

عندما تكون مريضًا لدى طبيب عام أو استشاري في مستشفى أو جراح أو مسعف أو أي مهني طبي آخر، فإنهم يتحملون تجاهك واجب الرعاية. وعندما يخلون بهذا الواجب، مثل التشخيص الخاطئ لحالة طبية أو التسبب في إصابة إضافية لك، قد تنشأ قضية إهمال طبي.

الإهمال الطبي هو خطأ يمكن تفاديه من قبل أخصائي أو مؤسسة طبية، وقد تكون لديك دعوى إهمال طبي للمطالبة بالتعويض إذا حدث ذلك لك.

A Medical Professional can be responsible for the injury in any area of medical negligence law.  Common areas of medical negligence cases are:

الإهمال الطبي من قبل طبيب عام

الإهمال الطبي من قبل طبيب عام can often happen as the GP is the first medical professional you may meet when you are ill or injured.

The duty of the GP is to assess your injury or illness and decide on the correct course of treatment. Actions by a GP may be crucial in dealing with your illness or injury. Mistakes can be made by the GP which can result in an injury.

The GP may be responsible for medical negligence if they:

  • Fail to refer you to a consultant
  • Misdiagnose your health issue
  • Fail to diagnose your health issue
  • Fail to refer you for further tests
  • Fail to follow up on the results of tests
  • Make an error in your prescription

There is a duty of care on your GP to explain any side-effects or risks you are exposed to by not undergoing a medical treatment, test, procedure, or prescribed medication.

It can also be considered medically negligent if the GP does not explain the clinical risks associated with the procedure or treatment you have consented to which then results in damage or injury.

There are many areas of medical negligence by a GP, and your medical negligence solicitor can help you identify what happened in your treatment.

الإهمال الطبي من قبل استشاري في المستشفى

الإهمال الطبي من قبل استشاري في المستشفى may happen at the early stages of an illness or injury and may affect your treatment path long into the future.

You are referred to a hospital consultant for expert treatment, but medical negligence could cause many problems. Many newborn babies suffer medical negligence before, after, or during birth with life-changing consequences.

A hospital consultant may be responsible for medical negligence if they:

  • Misdiagnose your health issue
  • Fail to diagnose your health issue
  • Cause a birth injury due to errors made during delivery
  • Put you on the wrong course of treatment
  • Make an error in your prescription
  • Fail to read your test results or read them correctly
  • Fail to refer you for further tests or surgery
  • Cause a birth injury due to the failure to deliver a baby on time
  • Injure you when treating your health issue

The hospital consultant has a duty of care to patients; a breach of that duty of care may be medical negligence.

الإهمال الطبي من قبل جراح

الإهمال الطبي من قبل جراح may cause surgery to go wrong and make your health issues or injuries worse than necessary.

A surgeon often needs to perform lifesaving surgery, and medical negligence in these cases can be fatal. Errors in day-to-day surgical procedures can also have severe consequences and directly affect your recovery.

Medical negligence by a surgeon can be:

  • Surgery on the wrong patient
  • Removal of the wrong limb, foot, hand, or digit
  • Unnecessary surgery
  • A failure to inform a patient about what the surgery involves
  • Wrong area surgery
  • Performing open surgery when keyhole s an option
  • Damage to internal organs during surgery
  • Nicking a nerve during surgery
  • Unnecessary scarring from the surgery

إهمال طبي من قبل مسعف

Medical negligence by a paramedic can happen during an emergency or even in the routine treatment a patient needs when receiving care in an ambulance. 

The paramedic may be the first medical professional at the scene of an accident, and their diagnosis can decide how a patient is treated at the hospital. Errors by a paramedic can cost time and cause delays in starting valuable treatment. 

Medical negligence by a paramedic can be:

  • Misdiagnosis of a medical emergency
  • Incorrect treatment
  • Failure to provide treatment
  • Damage to patient when giving medical treatment
  • Failure to get the patient’s medical history
  • Making errors when reporting to the A&E team at handover

Medical negligence by a nurse can happen in a hospital, private clinic, or GP clinic. Errors by a nurse can affect how the doctor or medical professional diagnoses or treats your illness or injury. 

A nurse must ensure patient safety and treatment are a priority, and medical negligence by a nurse can seriously affect an ill patient. 

Medical negligence by a nurse can be:

  • Errors when dressing a wound or injury

  • Errors when administering medication
  • Failure to check medication before giving it to a patient

الإهمال الطبي من قبل خدمات الصحة الوطنية (في أيرلندا)

Medical negligence by the HSE receives a lot of coverage in Ireland. The HSE is responsible for patient care from their birth in hospital to any continuing medical treatment during their lifetime.

A solicitor’s role in a medical negligence case

A solicitor’s role in a medical negligence case can be vital to a successful conclusion for the patient involved. The solicitor is used to and trained for litigation and can be a powerful advocate when needed.

Medical negligence will have emotional and financial effects on the patient today and in the future, and a solicitor can help figure out what these effects are worth. 

Medical costs soon add up when you suffer an accident or illness. The costs of medical care in Ireland are high, and you may also need to adapt your home and car. 

Children affected by medical negligence may need care and constant medical treatment for the rest of their lives. Parents need peace of mind that their child will be well looked after throughout their lives. 

The experience and expertise of a solicitor comes into their role in a medical negligence case. Knowing how compensation works in medical negligence, how to identify and claim* against those responsible, and navigating through complex litigation are all part of the solicitor’s role when handling your medical negligence case.

التعويض عن الإهمال الطبي في إيرلندا

Compensation for medical negligence in Ireland can range from the low €1,000s for minor injuries to the high millions of euros for the serious, life-changing types of medical negligence. 

In any medical negligence case, you claim* for two types of damages:

General damages are the claim* you make for compensation for the pain and suffering you experience because of the medical negligence. 

In medical negligence cases, you can claim* General Damages for the pain from a poorly carried out surgery or the unnecessary suffering from the misdiagnosis of your cancer. 

General Damages are also claimed* for problems with playing sports, exercising, walking, or driving due to injury caused by medical negligence.

Special Damages are when you claim* for the financial effects on your life due to the medical negligence behind your injury or illness.

فيما يتعلق بالأضرار الخاصة، يمكنك المطالبة* بما يلي: 

  •          فقدان الأرباح
  •          تكاليف الرعاية في الوقت الحاضر والمستقبل
  •          النفقات الشخصية مثل السفر والمواعيد الطبية والعلاج اللاحق 

Children with a birth defect may claim* for the cost of personal care for life, adaptations to the home and for ongoing medical treatments and therapy. 

You claim* Special Damages for the financial effects of a loss of income when recovering from a surgical error or needing to be off work for treatment due to delays in a cancer diagnosis. 

أنت تطالب بتعويضات خاصة لتعويض التكاليف المالية للإهمال الطبي حتى لا تتكبد أي خسائر مادية بسبب أفعال الآخرين. 

Each medical negligence claim* is different from another one. The financial effects may be heavier on you than on a person in a similar situation, and you may claim* for what you need when injured due to medical negligence. 

With this in mind, the payouts in medical negligence cases differ across the board. Your medical negligence solicitor can guide you on what to expect in compensation and how to make your claim*.

In your case of medical negligence, the solicitor can advise you on how the two types of damages are relevant to your claim* for compensation.

كيفية تقديم مطالبة* للحصول على تعويض عن الإهمال الطبي

To make a claim* for medical negligence compensation, you take everything one step at a time. It may seem daunting to take on the HSE or the hospital consultant, but with guidance, you can navigate your way through what can be a difficult process. 

الخطوات التي يجب اتباعها عند تقديم مطالبة بالخطأ الطبي في إيرلندا هي: 

If you think you may be the victim of medical negligence, you should seek immediate medical advice. 

A medical professional can assess your injuries and tell if you need further treatment. The medical professional’s advice can form part of any medical negligence case.

Engage a medical negligence solicitor to get advice on proceeding with your case. Only an experienced medical negligence solicitor will know if you have a valid case and how to proceed with it. 

The medical negligence solicitor will know who to contact to start the compensation case and will take over the running of your case.

Getting access to your medical records to see the history of your lack of professional medical care is the next step in the process. 

Your solicitor needs your permission to access your medical records. 

Only by getting a valid second opinion of your medical records can the solicitor see how you were injured and what to do next with your case.

Writing to the negligent party is always the next step once your solicitor advises you have a valid case for medical negligence compensation.

The letter of claim*, as it is known, outlines details such as the date and type of medical negligence and what you and the solicitor expect from the negligent party.

Your solicitor seeks a response to the letter of claim* before a set date.

The response from the negligent party, usually from their solicitor or insurer, will decide how the case will proceed. 

The negligent party will either admit to the medical negligence or deny all responsibility for what happened to you. 

The two sides can meet if the negligent party admits the medical negligence and an agreement can be made on what compensation is due to you. 

Unfortunately, you may need to go to court if the negligent party denies responsibility or the two sides cannot agree an acceptable level of compensation.

Going to court may be the final step in resolving your medical negligence case. In some cases, a claim* is settled on the steps of the court when the negligent party meets the victim of medical negligence. 

قد تكون إجراءات المحاكم مطولة، وستحتاج إلى الخبرة والدراية إلى جانبك عندما تكون في قاعة المحكمة. 

سيقوم محاميك ببدء إجراءات المحكمة وإرشادك في كل خطوة من خطوات ما يمكن أن يكون عملية صعبة بالنسبة للعائلة.

ما هي المهل الزمنية لرفع دعوى إهمال طبي في إيرلندا؟

There is a two-year time limit to claiming* medical negligence in Ireland. The clock only starts ticking on the two-year time limit from the day you realise you suffered medical negligence. 

Medical negligence may only become obvious years after you suffer poor medical treatment. You could go see another doctor with what you think is a different complaint, but they may see a path back to medical negligence. 

It is vital to take legal steps as soon as you realise you suffered medical negligence. Seeking a second medical opinion and engaging a medical negligence solicitor as quickly as possible often results in a successful compensation claim*. 

Parents can make a medical negligence claim* on behalf of a child at any time until they reach 18 years of age. 

Once a child turns 18, they have a two-year time limit to start a medical negligence case from when they realise what happened to them.
