Caught an Infection in Hospital? Can you have a Medical Negligence Claim?

Developed MRSA or another serious infection during a hospital stay in Ireland? It may be worth investigating whether medical negligence played a role.

Hospital-acquired infections can sometimes be linked to inadequate hygiene, poor infection control or other failures in care. However, not every hospital infection amounts to negligence.

Medical evidence is essential to establish whether the required standard of care was met and whether any failure caused harm.

Gary Matthews Solicitors can help you understand your options if you believe you or a family member suffered harm due to negligent medical care.

When Does a Delayed Diagnosis Become Medical Negligence? | Gary Matthews Solicitors

A delayed diagnosis can sometimes amount to medical negligence if a healthcare professional failed to meet the required standard of care and that failure caused harm.

Whether it involves cancer, a heart condition or an infection, the circumstances and medical evidence matter. Not every delayed diagnosis is negligence, but you deserve answers if you believe a delay made your condition worse.

Gary Matthews Solicitors helps people understand their options in potential medical negligence cases in Ireland.

Only discovered years later that something may have gone wrong with your medical care?
It may not be too late to make a medical negligence claim.

In Ireland, the time limit can depend on when you first knew — or reasonably should have known — that something went wrong. This is known as the “date of knowledge” rule.

You may only discover a potential issue after speaking to another doctor or reviewing your medical records. If you believe something was missed or could have been avoided, don't assume the time limit has already passed.

Getting advice early can help you understand whether a claim may still be possible.

When Does a Medical Mistake Become Negligence?

In Ireland, medical negligence can arise when a healthcare professional fails to meet the expected standard of care and that failure causes harm. Examples can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, delayed cancer diagnosis and medication mistakes.

Not every poor medical outcome is negligence, which is why the medical evidence and circumstances need to be carefully assessed.

If you were harmed and believe something went wrong with your medical care, getting proper advice can help you understand what happened and what options may be available.

Does delaying Your Hospital Visit affect Your Injury Claim?

No. It doesn't automatically mean you can't make a personal injury claim.

Some injuries don't become noticeable until hours or even the next day, particularly when adrenaline masks pain initially. While seeking medical attention as soon as possible can help document your injuries, what matters is getting checked when you realise something is wrong and keeping records of your symptoms and treatment.

Delayed onset of symptoms can be relevant in Irish personal injury claims.

If you've been injured, don't assume you're unable to claim simply because you didn't seek medical attention on the day.

Can a Cyclist Claim After Being Hit by a Car?

You may still be able to make a personal injury claim, even if you weren't driving a car yourself.

Cyclists are vulnerable road users, and drivers have a duty of care towards them. If a driver's negligence caused your injuries, you may be entitled to pursue compensation.

Whether the accident happened while cycling in a lane, crossing the road or on a footpath, the circumstances and evidence of the accident will matter.

You don't need to have been in a car to have a claim.

🛴 Had an accident involving an e-scooter? Knowing who is responsible can be complicated.

E-scooters have been legally permitted on Irish public roads since 2024, provided they meet the required technical and usage rules. But when an accident happens, the question of who is liable isn't always straightforward.

Depending on the circumstances, responsibility could potentially involve:

🔹 The e-scooter rider
🔹 Another road user or driver
🔹 A rental or hire company
🔹 A road or infrastructure issue

And the question of insurance can make some e-scooter accident claims particularly complex.

If you've been injured in an e-scooter accident, don't assume you're simply on your own because an e-scooter was involved. The circumstances of the accident, who was responsible and the nature of your injuries all matter when determining whether you may have a claim.

The Injuries Resolution Board has also highlighted the vulnerability of cyclists and e-scooter users, noting that they can face significantly more severe injuries in road traffic accidents than motorists.
