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:

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.

Limerick Medical Negligence — FAQs

Yes. We act for clients across Limerick, including Limerick city, Newcastle West, Adare, Abbeyfeale and surrounding areas. Medical negligence is a national area of practice in Ireland — your solicitor does not need to be based in your county, and much of the work (gathering records, instructing experts, exchanging pleadings) is done by correspondence, phone and video, with in-person meetings arranged as needed.
