Making the claims process as stress free as possible
Step 1: You Contact Us
When you contact us, you will speak with Mark Tiernan Solicitor, who will go through your case in detail with you. If he is of the opinion that you have a case he will arrange to procure all of your medical records. We will then send these records to one of our UK Medical Consultants, who will go through them in detail and then furnish us with their opinion on liability. It is the Law in Ireland that you must have a medical report confirming negligence before you can commence a medical negligence claim.
Step 2: Expert Opinion
We will give you our expert opinion on the strength of your case and an estimate of the amount of compensation you are entitled to. If you decide to proceed you will be sent out some paperwork explaining the entire process. When we receive the independent report, we will discuss same in detail with you, giving our opinion on the likely outcome of the case and how long it will take.
Step 3: We start the claim process
Most of the work is done by us so it will take up very little of your time. We will send out a letter of claim to the defendant to inform them of your intention to claim for compensation for the injury caused to you. You will then be asked to go for a medical assessment to see how badly your injury has affected you. We will then if applicable assess your loss of earnings and out of pocket expenses and try to recover these. If we decide to proceed we arrange for proceedings to be issued and serve on the defendants. Most of the work is done by us so it should take up very little of your time.
