Medical Negligence Solicitors Wexford

Wexford General Hospital is the acute hospital for the county, with the regional centre at University Hospital Waterford taking the most serious cases. The interaction between the two is often relevant to how claims from Wexford 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 Wexford General Hospital, as well as GP surgeries, private clinics and care settings throughout the county.

Healthcare in Wexford: How It Shapes a Claim

Wexford General Hospital provides the county’s acute and maternity care, while the most serious and specialist cases are referred to University Hospital Waterford as the regional centre for the south-east. Patients in the north of the county, around Gorey, are also within reach of the Dublin hospitals. Cases from Wexford frequently turn on whether a condition was recognised and referred on to Waterford in time.

How a Wexford 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.
