Common questions
-
How much does a medical-negligence case cost me up front?
No up-front cost. We take on qualifying claims on a no-win-no-fee basis; our fees come out of the settlement if we win. We discuss the details at the initial consultation.
-
How long does a medical-negligence case take?
Most medical-negligence cases in Ireland settle within 18 to 36 months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injury can take longer because of the medical-evidence requirements.
-
Do I have to go to court?
Most of our medical-negligence cases settle before trial. We prepare every case as if it will go to court so that defendants take settlement discussions seriously.
-
What is the time limit for bringing a case?
The general limitation period is two years from the date of knowledge of the injury. There are exceptions — for children, the clock starts at age 18. Talk to us as soon as possible.
