Accidents in the Workplace
In Ireland, there are laws in place to protect you if you are injured at work. Your employer has a legal responsibility to provide you with a safe and healthy work. If you suffer an accident at work, you could be entitled to financial compensation to help cover any time you’ve had to take off work, the cost of your medical treatment and compensation for any other impacts you’ve suffered as a result of a workplace accident.
Our personal injury solicitors have extensive experience supporting nurses and healthcare professionals, construction workers, employees in industrial and manufacturing environments, and members of An Garda Siochana and emergency services.
Road Traffic Accidents
Injuries that result from road traffic accidents include being hurt as a driver or a passenger in a car or on a motorbike, on public transport such as a bus or train, or as a pedestrian or cyclist. It can also include injuries sustained in road traffic accidents while you’re at work. Whiplash is one of the key injuries that arise from road traffic accidents and can cause you to experience a significant degree of pain and miss time off work. Our personal injury solicitors can give you specialist advice about your situation and recover some of the costs of any time you’ve had off work and the costs of your medical treatment.

Accidents in Public Places
If you have been injured in a public area such as a park, sporting facility, restaurant or supermarket, our personal injury solicitors can advise you whether you are entitled to seek financial compensation. Whether it’s a trip or a fall caused by loose blocks, defective equipment, or other hazards, a personal injury can have a significant physical, emotional, and financial impact. Irish law safeguards individuals injured in public spaces by providing them with the opportunity to pursue financial compensation to help their recovery.
If you have suffered a slip, trip or fall in a public place, talk to our experienced personal injury solicitors for advice about your options.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence occurs when a doctor or other healthcare professional or health service delivers substandard care or makes an error that results in an avoidable injury, illness or pain. Medical negligence that includes mistakes made during surgery and a misdiagnosis can impact a patient’s quality of life, or worse.
Our personal injury solicitors understand that cases involving medical negligence can be distressing, and we will take the time to listen to your story and be sensitive to your needs. We will explain your options, what is involved, the time limitations that apply and how we will support you at every stage.
Childbirth Injury
Under Irish law, birth injuries apply to those that occur during pregnancy, labour and after childbirth as a result of mistakes made by a doctor, midwife or health professional, or due to substandard care. Birth injuries apply to both mothers and babies and can vary widely in severity, affecting different parts of the body.
Cerebral Palsy, clavicle fractures and brachial plexus injuries are among the common birth injuries suffered by babies at childbirth. Mothers can also experience injuries including tears and nerve damage during delivery, and substandard care post delivery that can lead to serious infections. Please talk to our personal injury solicitors for further information and how we can support you through the process and the time limits that apply.
Catastrophic Injury
A catastrophic injury is a severe injury that has a profound and long-lasting impact. These injuries often result in permanent disability and often need extensive medical treatment and long-term care.
Common examples of catastrophic injuries include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, loss of limbs, and paralysis that result from car accidents, motorcycle accidents, sports injuries, falls from heights, diving or skiing accidents, the wrong diagnosis for a medical condition, substandard care, and acts of violence.
Our personal injury solicitors have many years’ experience advising and supporting clients in the wake of a catastrophic injury.
