Areas of specialisation

The firm works in two main areas: personal injury and medical negligence. In personal injury, it advises clients who have suffered harm in road traffic accidents, workplace accidents and accidents in public places. The firm offers an initial assessment to determine whether the client's situation may give rise to a claim, with no obligation to proceed.

Within personal injury, the specific services it details include:

• Car accidents
• Whiplash injury claims
• Pedestrian accident claims
• Motorcycle accidents
• Cycling accidents
• E-scooter and e-bike accidents
• Accidents at work
• Fatal injury claims
• Serious and catastrophic injuries
• Accidents in public places
• Farm accidents
• Dog bite and attack claims
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

In medical negligence, the firm handles cases that, it says, are complex and require analysis of evidence. It helps clients assess whether the care received fell below an acceptable standard and whether that caused avoidable harm. The specific services in this area are:

• GP claims
• Birth-related injuries
• Hip replacement surgery
• Surgical errors
• Dental negligence or malpractice
• Accident and emergency
• Chiropractic negligence

Claims process and client guides

The firm explains the personal injury claims process and offers a guide on the "No Win No Fee" agreement, answering frequently asked questions such as what this model means in Ireland, what costs might apply, how legal fees are explained at the outset and what happens if the claim does not succeed. It also publishes a reference guide on compensation values in personal injury claims, based on the 2021 guidelines.

In the FAQs, the firm clarifies that, in most personal injury cases in Ireland, the deadline to submit a claim to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB) is two years from the date of the accident or from when the injury was known. Medical negligence claims follow the same two-year rule, running from when you knew or ought to have known that negligence caused the harm. There are limited exceptions, for example for minors. It also recommends seeking immediate medical attention after an accident, reporting the incident to the responsible party (employer, property owner or Gardaí in road accidents), noting details and witnesses, and not signing or accepting payments without prior legal advice.

Represented cases

The firm has represented families in legal actions before the High Court. In one case, it represented the family of Claire Meehan, a mother of three who died at 49 in October 2024, in an action concerning an alleged delay in diagnosing lung cancer. It was alleged that she repeatedly attended a GP with respiratory symptoms without being referred for imaging or specialist assessment. The case was resolved without admission of liability and the allegations were denied.

In another case, it represented the family of May Craig, a 76-year-old pensioner from Raphoe, Co Donegal, in an action related to her care at Letterkenny University Hospital before her death from heart failure in June 2022. The hospital apologised unreservedly because the standard of care during two admissions was not adequate. The action was resolved without admission of liability and the claims were denied.
