Medical Negligence Solicitors Kerry

University Hospital Kerry in Tralee is the county’s main acute hospital, serving a large and partly rural population. Distance and transfer times to tertiary centres in Cork can be a critical factor where conditions are misdiagnosed or treatment is delayed.

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 University Hospital Kerry, Tralee and the Bon Secours Hospital Tralee, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Types of Kerry Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

We advise Kerry 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 Kerry 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.
