Cardiac Negligence
At Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, our specialist medical negligence team has extensive experience in cardiac negligence claims, where substandard care from GPs, emergency departments, cardiologists, or hospitals has led to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, improper treatment, or complications in heart-related conditions. Cardiac negligence frequently involves failure to recognise or act on symptoms of a heart attack (myocardial infarction), aortic dissection, heart failure, arrhythmias, or other cardiac events; misinterpreting ECGs, blood tests, or imaging; delaying urgent referrals to cardiology services; or inadequate management post-procedure, often resulting in severe heart damage, stroke, organ failure, or sudden death. These errors can turn a treatable condition into a catastrophic one, especially in time-critical emergencies where prompt intervention is essential for survival and recovery. If you or a loved one has suffered due to preventable cardiac negligence in Ireland—leading to worsened prognosis, permanent disability, unnecessary suffering, additional treatments, or bereavement—we can help investigate the circumstances and secure the compensation required for medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, and emotional support.
Our firm recognises the immense shock and grief these cases bring: cardiac events are often sudden and frightening, and when negligence contributes to a poorer outcome, it compounds the devastation for patients and their families. Senior Partner Damien Tansey SC and our dedicated solicitors offer empathetic, personalised guidance, understanding the urgency and sensitivity involved while pursuing accountability with determination.
We work closely with leading independent medical experts, including cardiologists, to thoroughly review medical records, ECGs, test results, and clinical notes to establish whether the standard of care was breached and how the negligence directly caused or worsened the harm. Many cardiac negligence claims are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis, allowing families to access expert representation without upfront financial risk during a challenging period.
We offer free, confidential initial consultations at a convenient time and location anywhere across Ireland, from our Sligo and Dublin offices or elsewhere, with no obligation to proceed. Strict time limits apply under Irish law—typically two years from the date of knowledge of the negligence—so it is crucial to contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve your claim.
Let Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, a trusted leader in Irish medical negligence, support you in holding healthcare providers accountable and obtaining the answers, justice, and substantial financial security your family deserves following preventable cardiac negligence.
