Medical Negligence Solicitors Clare

Clare patients rely heavily on University Hospital Limerick for emergency and acute treatment, with Ennis Hospital handling a more limited range of services. That referral pattern matters: delays and breakdowns in transfer between facilities are a common thread in Mid-West negligence claims.

Led by Richard O'Shea, our medical negligence practice acts for people across Munster who have been harmed by substandard medical care. We bring claims arising from Ennis Hospital and University Hospital Limerick (UHL).

Most acute and emergency care for Clare residents is provided at University Hospital Limerick, with Ennis Hospital running a Local Injury Unit and a range of outpatient services.

Types of Clare Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

We advise Clare clients across the full range of clinical negligence, including:

• Cancer misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis
• Sepsis and infection cases
• Cauda equina syndrome and spinal injuries
• GP negligence and medication errors
• Nursing home negligence

How a Clare Claim Works

We begin by obtaining your complete medical records and arranging an independent review by an appropriate medical expert. If that review supports a case, we set out the claim, deal with the HSE State Claims Agency (for public hospitals) or the relevant insurer (for private care), and advance the case through the courts. You can check the indicative deadline for your own situation using our claim time-limit checker.
