McMahon Goldrick Solicitors, Dublin are endorsed by Spinal Injuries Ireland to act on behalf of its members and also represents the Organisation itself.
I worked with Ralph for 22 years and it was a pleasure to do so. He has acted for Spinal Injuries Ireland and its members since 1993. He has acted as an advisor to the Board, been a member of the Fundraising Committee and also the Transitional Housing Programme Committee. Integrity and professionalism are assured and it is these qualities combined with his experience and indeed that of his Partner Jessica Goldrick that gave me total comfort when referring members to him. They go about their work with a total empathy for the member and of course this is also of crucial importance. I cannot recommend Ralph and Jessica highly enough.
Ralph, the first thing on my ‘to do’ list was to email you to say a big thank you to you and to Jessica for all the support you gave to me over the past year.
I received a stellar service from your firm and most particularly Jessica who was a delight to deal with. While the outcome was beyond my expectations, so too was the service I received from your firm. I will be in touch with Jessica separately to thank her

What Is a Medical Malpractice Claim?
In Ireland, the true test for establishing negligence* in diagnosis or treatment on the part of a medical practitioner is whether he or she has been proved to be guilty of such failures as no medical practitioner of equal specialist or general status and skill would be guilty of, if acting with ordinary care.
However, in a claim involving medical malpractice*, it is not sufficient to show that negligence existed. It must also be shown that, on the balance of probabilities, the negligence caused the specific injury in question.
Catastrophic Injuries as a Result of Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can be a factor in a cases involving birth injury, spinal injury and brain injury.
Cases can arise where life-changing injuries result from:
- Inappropriate surgical or medical procedure technique
- Delayed treatment
- Failure in diagnosis
- Mismanagement of medication
- Not providing patients with accurate information, or not involving them properly in decision-making around their own care.
- In addition, non-traumatic brain injuries that occur as a result of illness or a condition within the body can occur as a result of medical negligence.
Maternal Birth Injuries*
Maternal birth injuries are injuries sustained by a mother as a result of childbirth. The type and severity of the injury depends on the circumstances of the birth, including whether the birth was natural, instrumental or caesarean section delivery. If the injury arises as a result of the negligent mismanagement of the pregnancy, labour and/or delivery, the mother may have a medical negligence claim against her healthcare provider and/or hospital.
Common examples of maternal injury include:
- Vaginal and perineal tears
- Fissures
- Incorrect suturing (stitching) following an episiotomy or caesarean section
- Neurological complications as a result of epidural or spinal anaesthesia
