HIE Medical Negligence Claims in Ireland
An HIE claim is a legal action pursued when a newborn suffers from hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy due to substandard medical care. In these cases, it must be proven that medical professionals failed to act appropriately during pregnancy, labour, or delivery, leading to oxygen deprivation and subsequent brain injury.
Common causes of HIE medical malpractice claims include:
- Failure to monitor foetal distress during labour
- Delayed emergency caesarean section
- Mismanagement of umbilical cord complications
- Inadequate response to maternal infections
- Errors in neonatal resuscitation
- Delay to promptly & appropriately treat the symptoms of HIE in the NICU
If negligence is established, compensation may cover:
- Long-term medical care and rehabilitation
- Assistive therapies and adaptive equipment
- Home modifications
- Loss of earnings and future financial security
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

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
