Other Medical Negligence Claims

Medical Misdiagnosis

When we attend our doctors, we trust in their assessments of our medical issues. This makes a misdiagnosis a very serious and traumatic event. If your doctor has diagnosed your condition incorrectly or delayed your diagnosis, you may be entitled to make a claim. Among the conditions that can be misdiagnosed are: 

  • Strokes
  • Meningitis
  • Diabetes
  • Ectopic pregnancy
  • Broken bones
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Epilepsy
  • Cancer

  • Bowel

  • Cervical
  • Lung
  • Prostate
  • Ovarian
  • Skin
  • Testicular
  • Pancreatic 

Cancer Misdiagnosis Claims


Medical Negligence Causing Death

A fatal medical negligence claim is a legal action taken where a person dies as a result of medical negligence. Damages can include financial loss, funeral expenses, mental distress, and other expenses incurred.

All fatal injury claims are initially sent to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). The PIAB will take the same approach as it does for a personal injury claim.

Fatal Medical Negligence Claims

 

You may take legal action after  you have been involved in an accident or injured because of somebody else’s actions or negligence*.

Personal injury claims generally involve:

  • A plaintiff or claimant  – this is the person making the claim (you).
  • A defendant – the person(s) you are making the claim against.
  • Your solicitor 
  • PIAB – Personal Injury Assessment Board (often called the Injuries Board). PIAB assesses most  personal injury claims before any further steps are considered.

What Are the Common Injuries Sustained In Accidents?


For every type of accident, whether a car crash, a slip and fall, or a product related injury, there is a wide array of injury types that can occur. Every part of the body is susceptible to different forms of injury and the forces applied upon the body when an accident occurs will dictate the kind of injury as well as the severity.

As a personal injury law firm with over 50 years experience representing injured parties Ireland we understand the nature of various types of injuries. We are able to articulate the effects they have on a client’s life, and the types of medical care required, in the context of a personal injury case.
