Urology Negligence Claims, Northern Ireland

What is urology?

Urology is the field of medicine relating to the urinary tract and the male genital organs. It includes healthcare and treatments relating to the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and
male reproductive organs. It is a surgical specialty but also relates to the management of conditions relating to each of those organs.

What is urology negligence?

Urology negligence is when the level of care you receive falls short of the professional standards you should expect from a healthcare professional. When you endure pain or hardship as a result of negligent urological treatment, you’re entitled to claim urology negligence compensation.

The recent urology recall in Northern Ireland is an example of when urological negligence can lead to compensation claims. Failings in urology care across Northern Ireland, and particularly at hospitals in the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, were uncovered during an investigation. This has led to hundreds of patients being recalled for urology treatment.

The Northern Ireland urology recall centred on patients who were under the care of consultant urologist Dr Aidan O’Brien. If you were recalled for urology treatment or if you believe the treatment you received was negligent, please get in touch for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Types of Urology Negligence Compensation Claims

Various forms of urology negligence can result in a compensation claim, such as:

  • Surgical errors resulting in incontinence, damage to organs, nerve damage or impotence
  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of kidney, bladder, prostate or testicular cancer
  • Delayed diagnosis of renal disease
  • Mismanagement of kidney failure
  • Failed vasectomy
  • Failing to diagnose or treat kidney stones
  • Infection caused by inadequate post-surgical care

Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone who has suffered physically, mentally or financially as a result of negligence in their urology treatment is entitled to make a urology claim. You can also claim on behalf of your child aged under 18 or a loved one who doesn’t have the mental capacity to make their own claim.

You have three years from the date you became aware you’d suffered as a result of negligent urology treatment in which to make a compensation claim.

If you were under 18 at the time, you can make a urology claim up to your 21st birthday.

Straightforward urology claims can be settled in as little as six months. In cases where very serious injuries are involved or when the at-fault party claims they are not liable for the injuries or that the standards of care provided were not negligent, urology claims can take much longer to settle.

For claims that are likely to take a long time to settle, we may be able to secure an interim compensation payout so that you don’t suffer unnecessarily in the meantime.

Yes, gynaecology claims work in the same way as urology claims. If you’ve suffered because the level of care you received during gynaecological treatment or surgery fell below acceptable professional standards, you will be entitled to make a gynaecology compensation claim.

No Win, No Fee urology claims are not allowed under the law in Northern Ireland. Any solicitor offering a No Win, No Fee urology claim in Northern Ireland is doing so illegally.

Instead, we offer a range of ethical alternatives to No Win, No Fee. This includes free initial legal advice and insisting that the at-fault party covers your legal fees as part of your settlement. You will always keep 100% of the compensation you’re awarded.

      I approached Reid Black Solicitors having known Hamill Clawson for many years as a good dependable lawyer and having been badly let down and grossly overcharged by another solicitor. He referred me to his colleague, David French who was very approachable and went out of his way to help resolve matters equitably in a timely and stress free manner.As a busy professional, this invaluable advice from Hamill and, especially his partner David was greatly appreciated. I am impressed by the high standard of service offered by this Firm and would recommended their services without caveat.read more

      What a fantastic group of people to work with from start to finish. I thoroughly endorse this firm of solicitors to any former service personnel who have suffered hearing loss and/or tinnitus as a result of live firing in pipe ranges in Northern Ireland. These guys acted on my behalf following a simple hearing assessment and secured a sizeable settlement from the MoD for me. They did not take ANY of my compensation in payment, but claim a separate payment directly from the MoD for their work. David even declined an initial derisory offer from the MoD and secured a much better one which was 500% (yes 500%) above the original offer. If you or you know anyone who suffers the same problems, I would urge you to get in touch with David French or one of his colleagues at Reid Black solicitors. The only downside is the amount of time you have to wait for the MoD to play ball. On the plus side you’ll probably forget you’ve claimed at all and so it’s a great surprise when you finally get a result!read more

      I am absolutely delighted at the result David French and the whole team at Reid Black managed to negotiate for my hearing loss claim. It was a long process, but none of that due to RB, rather the bureaucracy and feet dragging of the MoD. There was one small period of frustration on my part when I had not heard from them in a while, but it transpired that their communications with me via e-mail had gone into my spam box, that I don't regularly check, so this frustration was my fault completely. David received an initial settlement offer, but refused it and negotiated a 33% increase in the offer on my behalf. I thoroughly recommend this Business to any former service personnel that served in NI after 1987, that have suffered hearing injuries. Thank you Reid Black.read more

      A Separation of a marriage is a really devasting and stressful time. My daughter used the services of Kathryn Aiken. Kathryn is such a lovely lady, with a real kindness and total understanding of the situation. She gave my daughter excellent legal advice and guided us safely through the whole process. Yes it did take time to finally come to an agreement on matters, but all throughout Kathryn was available to answer emails promptly or take a phone call. Nothing was ever a bother. That means a lot to have that total backing and support. We felt totally at ease meeting Kathryn at her office to sign documents and as upsetting as it sometimes was we were shown total empathy and comforted on occasions were needed. The quotation Kathryn gave me at the start of the process was near enough spot on at the end. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathryn to anyone in need of help. you are 100% in the best professional hands. I will be using Kathryn again in the future. Thank you for everything. Kerry and Naomi.read more

      Ref - Military hearing loss claim. I am speechless - having left the Army 32 years ago I never expected to qualify for any sort of payout. Getting in touch with Reid Black Solicitors was more a case of - 'try it and see, nothing ventured, nothing gained.' Absolutely dumbfounded by the amount you have recovered for me. I never expected any payout to be in the 5 figure bracket. We have a modest income and lead a modest lifestyle, but now, all our current financial challenges are over. A 'Thank you' seems totally inadequate, but we are truly grateful for your efforts and the result. Thank you. Kind Regards Alan Munceread more
