A HSE negligence claim is when you submit a formal request for financial compensation following substandard healthcare. You can make a HSE negligence claim when negligent care has been provided in any HSE medical centre. 

It is the responsibility of the HSE to provide professional and appropriate healthcare. If you feel as if you have not received such treatment, make sure you get in contact with our legal team to see if you have the right to claim.

Claims made against the HSE may differ in regard to circumstance and severity. However, any negligent treatment means you have the right to claim. 

Some of the common medical negligence claims made against the HSE may include:

When an accident has occurred and you visit A&E for immediate care, negligence may occur. Examples of how negligence could occur could include misdiagnosis, poor decision making and delayed medical attention. 

If you have experienced negligent care whilst being a patient in the A&E department, contact one of our solicitors to make a claim. 

Getting the correct cancer treatment is crucial in regard to recovery and improvement. However, cancer negligence could worsen a patient’s condition. 

Cancer negligence may include the likes of late or misdiagnosis. In these situations, you have the right to make a claim against the HSE.

Whilst undergoing surgery, a patient may experience negligence that can result in further damages. Surgery negligence can be caused by any HSE professional involved in the procedure. 

Consequences of surgical negligence could include unnecessary scarring, foreign objects left in the body and damage to surrounding parts of the body.

A person’s GP may be responsible for the medical negligence they endure. Misdiagnosis, not recognising the need for urgency and late diagnosis could all be ways in which your GP displays negligence. 

In any of these circumstances, you can make a claim against the HSE.

Negligence regarding your prescription could lead to serious health consequences. Prescription negligence could be caused by a pharmacist or your GP.
