Medical Negligence Solicitors Monaghan

Monaghan residents rely on a network of hospitals across the border region, with acute emergencies and maternity care provided outside the county. The need to travel and transfer between sites is a recurring feature of negligence cases from the area.

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

Healthcare in Monaghan: How It Shapes a Claim

Monaghan Hospital provides a Local Injury Unit and a range of medical and rehabilitation services, but acute emergencies and maternity care are delivered outside the county — principally at Cavan General Hospital and at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. For Monaghan patients that means care is frequently spread across more than one site and more than one hospital group, and the joins between them are often where problems arise.
