Medical Negligence Claims

When you place your trust in a doctor, hospital, dentist or other healthcare provider, you are entitled to receive treatment to an acceptable professional standard. If that standard falls below what is reasonably expected and you suffer injury, illness or avoidable complications as a result, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim.

At McKenna & Co Solicitors, we provide clear, practical legal advice to individuals and families affected by medical negligence. We understand that these cases can be distressing and complex, and we are committed to guiding clients through the process with sensitivity and professionalism.

What Is Medical Negligence?

Medical negligence (sometimes called clinical negligence) can arise where a healthcare professional or medical institution fails to provide an appropriate standard of care, and that failure causes harm. Examples may include:

  • Delay in diagnosis or treatment
  • Misdiagnosis of a condition
  • Surgical errors
  • Incorrect medication or dosage
  • Failure to obtain informed consent
  • Negligent maternity or birth care
  • Dental negligence
  • Errors in emergency care or hospital treatment

How We Can Help

We assist clients by:

  • Reviewing the circumstances of your treatment
  • Obtaining and analysing medical records
  • Consulting appropriate independent medical experts
  • Advising on the strength of your claim
  • Pursuing compensation for pain, suffering, loss of earnings and future care needs where appropriate
  • Representing you throughout negotiations or court proceedings if required

Compassionate, Confidential Advice

We understand that many clients seek answers as much as compensation. Our aim is to help you understand what happened, protect your legal rights, and pursue the best possible outcome.
