Medical Negligence Solicitors Kildare

Kildare sits on the edge of the Dublin hospital system. Naas General Hospital provides acute services within the county, but a large share of Kildare patients are treated in the major Dublin hospitals, which shapes how claims from the county arise.

Led by Richard O'Shea TEP, our medical negligence practice acts for people across Leinster who have been harmed by substandard medical care. We bring claims arising from Naas General Hospital.

Healthcare in Kildare: How It Shapes a Claim

Naas General Hospital is the acute hospital for Kildare, but the county’s position on Dublin’s western edge means a great many residents are treated in the capital’s hospitals, particularly Tallaght University Hospital, and in the Dublin maternity hospitals. For patients in north Kildare especially, care is often shared between Naas and Dublin sites, so identifying every hospital involved is usually the first task in a case from the county.

Naas General Hospital is the county’s acute hospital, with many Kildare patients also treated at the major Dublin hospitals, including Tallaght University Hospital.

How a Kildare 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.
