Fagan Killeen has significant experience in experience in medical negligence actions and medical misadventure claims. We offer specialist expertise in these claims and offer trusted and sound advice. We have specialist medical negligence Solicitors with a particular specialism in faults and/or errors in surgery, diagnosis and medical and cosmetic treatment. 

Our team has extensive knowledge of this sector of the law, as well as representing clients and their claims, and will treat your case with the greatest sensitivity and care to make the process as easy as possible for you. 

We understand the trauma that patients undergo when their surgeon, doctor or dentist has acted carelessly in your care or treatment. 

Issue or injury:
If you have suffered an injury or illness caused by a medical error or substandard care, you may be entitled to make a claim for financial compensation. On some occasions parties just wish to gain peace of mind that the medical practitioner provided the required care at the appropriate time.

It is often very difficult for a patient to second guess the expertise of the treating professional and to seek the advice necessary to bring a claim for injuries and harm suffered. 

The Process:
The first step is to obtain your medical records from the medical provider.

Secondly, we obtain an independent expert opinion on your treatment to establish whether any issue or malpractice occurred.

In order to establish if there is a case in medical negligence or dental negligence, it will be necessary to prove that a medical practitioner breached their duty to you, that the breach caused your injury and that no reasonably competent practitioner in the relevant field, at the relevant time, with the same qualifications and expertise, faced with the same circumstances, would have acted in the same way. 

The burden of proof is therefore high and it is all the more important to obtain expert advice from an experienced solicitor as early as possible. We can request and obtain the necessary reports from medical practitioners practising in all areas of medicine.

Thirdly, if as result of the report litigation is necessary, we engage an appropriate barrister or barristers on your behalf to advise and issue the appropriate proceedings.

Finally, we carry and advise you through the proceedings to obtain the best outcome for you.

Killeen Solicitors act in the following areas:

• All types of medical or clinical negligence;
