Medical Negligence Solicitors Mayo

Mayo University Hospital in Castlebar is the acute hospital for one of the most geographically dispersed populations in Ireland. Long travel distances place a particular premium on getting diagnosis and emergency treatment right first time.

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 Mayo University Hospital, Castlebar, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Types of Mayo Medical Negligence Claims We Handle

We advise Mayo 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 Mayo 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.
