Medical Negligence Solicitors Limerick
University Hospital Limerick serves the entire Mid-West, including Clare and North Tipperary, and has been the subject of sustained public concern about emergency-department pressures. Overcrowding and delay are recurring features of the negligence cases we see arising from the region.
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 Limerick (UHL), University Maternity Hospital Limerick, Croom Orthopaedic Hospital, St John's Hospital, Limerick and the Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.
Types of Limerick Medical Negligence Claims We Handle
We advise Limerick 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 Limerick 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.
Serving Clients Across Limerick
We act for clients throughout Limerick, including Limerick city, Newcastle West, Adare, Abbeyfeale, Kilmallock, Castleconnell and the surrounding areas. Initial consultations can be held by phone or video, so you can get clear advice without travelling.
