Legal advice about hospital-acquired infections
Harringtons Medical advises on concerns about infections acquired during hospital care. An enquiry may concern infection-control practices, recognition of symptoms or the response to a suspected infection.
The enquiry may require a review of hospital notes, test results, treatment records and information about relevant infection-control practices. Medical records and appropriate independent expert evidence help assess the care provided and whether an alleged failing caused harm. An adverse outcome alone does not establish medical negligence.
Harringtons Medical is the medical negligence department of Harringtons LLP in Dublin, led by David Harrington. The team can discuss your concerns and the information needed to assess them. Call 01 539 4747 or use the contact form below. You can make an initial enquiry even if you do not yet have all of your records.
FAQs
Does a hospital-acquired infection automatically establish negligence?
No. An infection alone does not establish that the care was negligent. The circumstances, relevant records and appropriate independent medical evidence need to be assessed. Keep a timeline of your hospital stay, symptoms and treatment so the team can understand your concerns.
