Personal Injury solicitors in Gorey

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.

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.

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.

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.
