Medical Negligence Solicitors Donegal

Letterkenny University Hospital is the sole acute hospital for the entire county of Donegal, the most remote in the State. The combination of a single acute site and a large rural catchment makes timely, accurate care critical — and avoidable delay especially serious.

Led by Richard O'Shea, our medical negligence practice acts for people across Ulster who have been harmed by substandard medical care. We bring claims arising from Letterkenny University Hospital, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Types of Donegal Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

We advise Donegal 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 Donegal 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.
