About personal injury law in Ireland
Road traffic, workplace and public liability accidents, and medical negligence. In Ireland most injury claims must go to the Injuries Resolution Board before any court case. Lawvoo only lists firms for this area — contact a firm directly.
Personal Injury solicitors across IrelandCommon questions about personal injury solicitors in Athlone
Do personal injury claims in Ireland go to court straight away?
No. Most claims — road traffic, workplace and public liability — must first be made to the Injuries Resolution Board (formerly PIAB), which assesses the claim and can offer mediation. If the claim isn't resolved there, the Board issues an 'authorisation' so it can go to court. Medical negligence claims don't go through the Board.
How long do I have to make a personal injury claim?
Generally two years from the date of the injury, or from when you knew about it. Applying to the Injuries Resolution Board stops the clock for a period — a solicitor can confirm the exact dates for your situation.
Do I need a solicitor for an Injuries Resolution Board claim?
No — you can apply yourself, online or by post. Many people use a solicitor, especially for serious injuries or where fault is disputed. Ask any firm to explain its fees and likely costs in writing before you instruct it.
Why can't I send a personal injury enquiry through Lawvoo in Ireland?
Irish rules strictly control how personal injury legal services are advertised and how clients are introduced to solicitors. To stay well within them, Lawvoo only lists firms for personal injury in Ireland. Contact any firm directly through its own website.
