Brain Injury Claims
At Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, our internationally recognised medical negligence team has deep expertise in brain injury claims where substandard medical care—during birth, surgery, neonatal treatment, or otherwise—has caused devastating hypoxic, traumatic, or acquired brain damage. Brain injuries often result from oxygen deprivation (hypoxia or hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy), delayed delivery, mismanaged labour, failures in monitoring fetal distress, negligent postnatal care, or post-operative complications, leading to lifelong disabilities such as cognitive impairment, motor deficits, epilepsy, communication challenges, and the need for extensive ongoing support.
If you or your loved one has suffered a preventable brain injury due to medical negligence in Ireland, we can help uncover what happened and secure the substantial compensation required to fund specialist care, therapies, equipment, adapted accommodation, and future financial security. Our firm has a proven record in complex brain injury cases, including securing an €8.25 million settlement for a woman with spastic cerebral palsy arising from birth-related brain injury against the National Maternity Hospital, a €3 million interim payment approved by the High Court for a young girl who suffered brain damage after negligent discharge without antibiotics following cranial surgery, and an apology from Portiuncula University Hospital for failures in care during delivery that caused brain injury to a child.
Senior Partner Damien Tansey SC, along with our dedicated team including those who led these significant victories, understands the profound emotional, physical, and financial devastation brain injuries inflict on individuals and families. We provide empathetic, personalised support throughout the process, guiding you with clarity and determination to achieve justice and accountability. Our approach involves collaborating with leading independent medical experts to meticulously review records, establish breaches in the standard of care, and accurately assess the full extent of lifelong needs and losses. Many brain injury claims are pursued on a no-win, no-fee basis, removing upfront financial risk so families can focus on recovery rather than costs.
We offer free, confidential initial consultations at a time and place convenient to you anywhere in Ireland, with no obligation to proceed. Strict time limits apply under Irish law—typically two years from the date of knowledge, with provisions for minors—so contact Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP as soon as possible to protect your rights and secure the answers and support your family truly deserves following a preventable brain injury.
