Ireland is indebted to the Health Service Executive’s (HSE) talented healthcare workers who strive to look after us when we need them most. Although we all value them, we also must recognise that the systems they work in make mistakes sometimes.
Unfortunately, when this happens in the context of healthcare, the consequences can be significant for the patient. When that happens, Augustus Cullen Law is here to help.
Our unwavering commitment lies in creating a meaningful impact for patients in need of assistance, who have suffered injuries due to shortcomings of HSE. We are committed to and not afraid of fighting meritorious cases no matter how difficult and complex.
This list is not exhaustive. Your solicitor will argue for compensation to pay for anything you require to live the most comfortable and independent standard of living available to you.
Our process is designed to remove the stress from your HSE claim so that you can focus on recovering. Your solicitor will keep you updated throughout the duration of your case. Unfortunately, HSE negligence cases can be complex and many of them can take years to complete. That’s why the process can be very different on a case-to-case basis.

Augustus Cullen Law has successfully acted in a high volume of HSE claims for patients and their families.
We have a reputation for our empathy and professionalism, earned through decades of experience. Despite the complexity associated with these types of cases, you can be assured that our solicitors will investigate all aspects of your case and act in your best interest.
The majority of claims against HSE are settled during mediation and do not reach Court. Should your case fall within the minority that does require a Court date, you can rest assured that our team is highly experienced and will be thoroughly prepared.
You have a two-year window from the date of the medical negligence to begin legal proceedings. However, there are certain circumstances that may alter the start date. Unfortunately, some people are not aware that there are time restrictions for filing a HSE claim, and as a result, some cases may become ineligible for compensation.
For this reason, it is important to seek advice early.
