Medical Negligence Solicitors Galway

Galway is the largest acute hospital catchment in the west of Ireland, serving Galway, Mayo, Roscommon and beyond. When care at one of its hospitals or maternity units falls short, the consequences for families across the region can be life-changing.

Led by Richard O'Shea, our medical negligence practice acts for people across Connacht who have been harmed by substandard medical care. We bring claims arising from University Hospital Galway (UHG), Merlin Park University Hospital, Portiuncula University Hospital, Ballinasloe, the Bon Secours Hospital Galway and the Galway Clinic, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Types of Galway Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

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

• Birth injuries including cerebral palsy and Erb's palsy

• Cauda equina syndrome and spinal injuries
• GP negligence and medication errors
• Nursing home negligence

How a Galway 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.
