Personal Injury Claims

Posted by tallans solicitor on April 7th, 2021

Personal injuries solicitors have expertise in all types of personal injury claims including road traffic accidents, school and workplace injuries, accidents abroad, and military claims.

An accident can have a devastating effect, not only on the injured person but also on those close to them; sometimes changing lives forever.  They know how daunting it can be to suddenly have to deal with hospitals, the police, insurance companies, or the courts.  They can help you to manage this and support you through the process of bringing a claim to obtain much-needed compensation.

Over the years they have acted for adults and children in personal injury cases involving many serious and complex injuries including:

• Brain Injury
• Spinal Injury
• Orthopedic Injuries – e.g., broken legs and arms
• Amputations
• Polytrauma/multiple injuries
• Scarring
• Blindness
• Psychiatric Injury including reactive depression and post-traumatic stress disorder
• Trauma from sexual abuse

Road traffic accident solicitors frequently achieve multi-million-pound settlements for catastrophically injured people. For further information about compensation,they have secured for clients who have suffered a personal injury, see personal injury cases they have acted in.

They regularly act for people who have suffered serious injuries in road traffic accidents.  Investigation of the claim often involves working with the police, accident reconstruction specialists, and medical experts to understand how the accident occurred and the effects on the injured person.

Theycan deal robustly with issues that may arise regarding motor insurance (including uninsured drivers) and allegations that the injured person contributed to their injury.  This is referred to as 'contributory negligence and, for example, may include not wearing a seatbelt.

Their clients include people injured in the workplace, at school, or in some other place outside the home. They are experienced in bringing claims regarding unsafe premises and working practices, including where there has been an inadequate risk assessment.

They also act for clients who have been injured during organised trips, including trips abroad.  As such, they can deal with the additional complications of an accident that occurred outside of Dublin.

They represent Armed Forces personnel in bringing personal injury and human rights claims against the Ministry of Defence (‘MoD’).

Often, military personnel is given the impression that they are not allowed to bring a claim against the MoD. This is not correct, and claims can be brought in respect of injuries sustained during a training exercise and whilst on active duty. They act for Armed Forces personnel who have been unnecessarily exposed to dangerous/unsafe working practices and suffered injury as a result.  This has included toxic exposure during military service. They also have experience in bringing Human Rights Act 1998 claims against the MoD.
