Legal advice about surgical treatment
Harringtons Medical advises on concerns about surgical treatment, including wrong-site procedures, retained surgical items and unintended injury during an operation. Each enquiry requires consideration of the procedure, the records and the individual's circumstances.
The enquiry may require a review of consent documents, operation notes, imaging, discharge summaries and records of further treatment. 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
What should I prepare for an enquiry about surgical care?
Prepare a short timeline of the operation, the concerns that arose and any further treatment. Keep operation or discharge documents already available to you and correspondence with the hospital. The team can discuss obtaining additional records and appropriate independent medical advice to assess what happened.
