If you are the victim of a medical accident then you may wish to investigate whether or not the accident was caused by negligence on the part of a hospital and or a consultant/medical practitioner.
As a result of the reduction in the Statute of Limitations to two years for personal injury claims, it is necessary to take this time constraint into consideration if wishing to pursue a medical negligence case. This period normally runs from the date of the accident.
The Supreme Court of Ireland in the case of Dunne v National Maternity Hospital set out the standards that must be met by solicitors before proceedings can be issued in claims for medical negligence.
