Women’s Health
At Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, our specialist medical negligence team has extensive experience in women's health claims, where substandard care in maternity services, gynaecological treatment, obstetric management, or related procedures has caused harm to women during pregnancy, childbirth, or gynaecological care. Women's health negligence often involves failures during labour and delivery—such as mismanaged complications, delayed interventions, or errors leading to severe maternal injury—as well as issues in gynaecological surgery, delayed diagnosis of conditions affecting reproductive health, failure to obtain proper informed consent, or inadequate postnatal care. These cases can include emergency situations like massive postpartum haemorrhage, HELLP Syndrome, organ failure requiring hysterectomy, or long-term consequences from birth-related trauma to the mother. Our firm has successfully represented women in significant cases, including securing an apology and substantial High Court-approved settlement from the Rotunda Hospital for a mother who suffered life-threatening complications after an emergency caesarean section, developing acute HELLP Syndrome, multi-organ failure, and requiring an emergency hysterectomy followed by induced coma and life support.
We understand the unique physical, emotional, and psychological impact these incidents have on women and their families, often involving profound trauma, loss of fertility, chronic pain, or ongoing health challenges that affect daily life and future wellbeing. Senior Partner Damien Tansey SC and our dedicated solicitors provide empathetic, sensitive support, recognising the trust placed in healthcare providers for women's intimate and critical care while pursuing accountability with determination.
We collaborate with leading independent medical experts to review maternity records, surgical notes, test results, and clinical decisions, establishing breaches in the standard of care and linking them directly to the harm suffered. Many women's health negligence claims are handled on a no-win, no-fee basis, ensuring women and families can seek justice without upfront financial risk during recovery or adjustment.
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 essential to contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve your claim.
Let Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP, a leading Irish firm in medical negligence with a proven commitment to supporting women affected by maternity and gynaecological failures, guide you through the process to obtain the answers, justice, and substantial financial security you deserve following preventable negligence in women's health care.
