Successful Medical Negligence Outcome
James McSweeney Solicitors recently secured a settlement of over €500,000 on behalf of a client who suffered Erb's palsy following a brachial plexus injury sustained during birth.
The claim arose from allegations that excessive and inappropriate force was used during the delivery, resulting in a serious injury with lasting consequences for our client. Following detailed investigations and expert medical evidence, the case was successfully resolved.
While no financial award can undo the harm caused, this settlement will help provide for the client's future care, treatment and rehabilitation.
Our Medical Negligence team is committed to representing individuals and families affected by avoidable injuries and ensuring they receive expert legal advice and strong representation.
If you or a loved one has been affected by suspected medical negligence, contact James McSweeney Solicitors for a confidential consultation.

Today we had the privilege of representing the family of Martin Staines who died tragically because of failings in care at St James Hospital in Dublin. In their quest for justice, the family were the model of tenacity, patience and dignity. As part of the settlement, the hospital issued an apology, the sincerity of which is recognised and appreciated. Martin’s wife and widow, Lorraine made a statement in Court on behalf of herself and her family. We are enormously proud to have been chosen to represent this wonderful family.

Father of five, Martin Staines, from Tallaght, Dublin, suffered a fatal reaction to an agent known as polyethene glycol, which was in the steroid injection.
