Car Accident Personal Injury Claims in Ireland – Expert Legal Advice

Being involved in a road traffic accident can be a traumatic experience, leaving you with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial uncertainty. If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a personal injury claim.

At Cosgrove Gaynard Solicitors, we specialise in car accident and road traffic accident claims in Ireland, providing clear legal advice, strong representation, and a client-focused approach from start to finish.

Who Can Make a Car Accident Personal Injury Claim?

You may be eligible to bring a car accident injury claim if:

• You were injured as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, ebike cyclist or motorcyclist
• The accident was caused wholly or partly by another road user’s negligence
• The accident occurred in Ireland
• The claim is brought within the legal time limits

Common causes of road traffic accidents include speeding, distracted driving, failure to yield, drink driving, and dangerous overtaking.

Types of Road Traffic Accident Injuries We Handle

Cosgrove Gaynard Solicitors acts for clients who have suffered a wide range of injuries, including:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
• Back and neck injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Head and brain injuries
• Psychological injuries such as PTSD
• Serious and catastrophic injuries

No two accidents are the same. We ensure your injuries are properly assessed so that your claim reflects the full impact on your life covering all of injuries and furthermore all of your out of pocket expenses incurred or lost due to the accident.

How the Personal Injury Claims Process Works in Ireland

Making a personal injury claim for a car accident typically involves the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation

We assess your case, explain your legal rights, and advise whether you have a valid claim. We can initially discuss your case by phone, in person or by email - whichever suits you best.

2. Injuries Board Application

A personal injury claim in Ireland must first be submitted to the Injuries Board for assessment.

3. Medical Evidence

Independent medical reports are obtained to accurately value your injuries. We request a report from your Gp or consultant in this regard.

4. Settlement or Court Proceedings

If the case is not resolved during the injuries board process which is often the case, Cosgrove Gaynard Solicitors will pursue your claim through the courts where necessary.

Throughout the process, we handle all legal aspects so you can focus on your recovery.

Time Limits for Car Accident Claims

In most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Ireland is two years less one day from the date of the accident or the date you became aware of your injury.
