Dr Watt Medical Negligence Claims
Legal advice for patients concerned about neurological diagnosis or treatment received from Dr Michael Watt.

Dr Watt medical negligence claims
O’Hare Solicitors advises patients who have concerns about neurological diagnosis or treatment received from Dr Michael Watt, including patients treated through Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and in private practice.
Concerns about neurological diagnosis and treatment
The firm has advised patients whose concerns have included diagnoses of epilepsy, stroke and post-stroke epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and spontaneous intracranial hypotension.
Some cases have also involved concerns about treatment following diagnosis, including epidural blood patch procedures.
Whether any individual patient has a medical negligence claim depends on the care they received, the medical evidence and whether any substandard care caused avoidable harm.
How a medical negligence claim is assessed
A medical negligence claim is assessed on its individual facts.
Broadly, it will be necessary to consider whether the care received fell below the required standard and whether that caused injury or additional harm. Independent expert medical evidence may be required to address both issues.
NHS and private patients
O’Hare Solicitors has advised both NHS patients and patients treated privately by Dr Watt.
The legal and factual circumstances can differ between cases, so the relevant treatment history, records and potential parties should be considered individually.
O’Hare Solicitors’ experience
O’Hare Solicitors has advised more than 75 patients concerning care received from Dr Watt and has experience of medical negligence claims involving neurological treatment.
Time limits
Medical negligence claims are subject to legal time limits, but the applicable limitation position can depend on the individual circumstances.
