An Introduction To Medical Negligence

Coming to terms with the possibility that you may not have received the medical treatment & care you deserve can be an emotional and distressing time for both you and your family.

medical-negligence

Whether you have experienced a misdiagnosis, a routine surgery didn't go as planned or you believe you have received substandard aftercare, you could now be left with a permanent/ semi-permanent condition causing you additional symptoms and pain.

The negligent treatment you have received may also require you to undergo further treatment for a period of time or perhaps for many years ahead.

Medical Negligence Compensation

Most Medical Negligence cases need to be dealt with within a set period of time. This is known as the "Statute Of Limitations" and is usually two years from the "Date Of Knowledge".

Whilst two years may appear to be adequate for even the slowest of cases, it is important to act quickly as various expert opinions may need to be received which can take many months to progress.

To find out more about how the Statute of Limitations can affect medical negligence cases, along with many other important aspects of medical negligence, please download a copy of our "Patients' Guide To Medical Negligence In Ireland".
