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 Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that primarily affects a person’s ability to control their muscles, leading to challenges in movement, coordination, balance, and posture. This condition can impact both gross and fine motor skills, making daily activities like crawling, walking, and writing more difficult. Additionally, it may affect vision, communication, learning, and behaviour.

Medical Negligence and Cerebral Palsy Claims
While cerebral palsy is often a result of factors that cannot be controlled, there are instances where negligent medical care during pregnancy, birth, or shortly after birth contributes to the development of the condition.
Causes of Cerebral Palsy Due to Medical Negligence
Cerebral palsy can be caused by various factors during the developmental phase of a baby’s brain. These include white matter damage due to reduced blood or oxygen supply, infections contracted by the mother, bleeding in the baby’s brain, or physical injury. The role of healthcare professionals is crucial in monitoring and mitigating risks associated with these factors. Medical negligence arises when healthcare providers fail to identify or appropriately manage conditions that could lead to cerebral palsy, such as:
- Intrauterine growth restriction not being diagnosed or managed properly.
- Failure to treat and manage maternal infections effectively.
- Inadequate monitoring of the baby’s condition during labor.
- Negligence in advising or performing a necessary caesarean section.
- Negligent neonatal care, including failure to diagnose and treat infections or conditions like hypoglycemia.
- Improper management of umbilical cord prolapse, leading to oxygen deprivation.
Pursuing a Cerebral Palsy Claim
To initiate a claim for cerebral palsy caused by medical negligence, evidence must be presented to show that the care received fell below the expected standard of a competent healthcare provider and directly resulted in injury to the child. This involves gathering medical records and obtaining expert medical opinions to support the claim. You can read more on the claims process here.
