Medical Negligence Solicitors Cork

Cork is Ireland's largest county and home to the second-busiest acute hospital network in the State. From Cork University Hospital to the maternity unit at CUMH and the private hospitals across the city, a high volume of care also means a real volume of avoidable harm when standards slip.

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 Cork University Hospital (CUH), Cork University Maternity Hospital (CUMH), the Mercy University Hospital, the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital, the Bon Secours Hospital Cork, the Mater Private Hospital Cork, Mallow General Hospital and Bantry General Hospital, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Types of Cork Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

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

• Birth injuries including cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy
• Surgical errors in public and private hospitals
• 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 Cork 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.
