What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is when you seek financial compensation for the injuries and damages you suffered due to the negligence of a third party. If another party could be responsible for your accident, you may have a personal injury compensation claim.
The personal injury claim can get you compensation for an accident that was not your fault, or that was not wholly your fault.
Your employer, other road user or owner of the hotel you are staying in owe you a duty of care. A breach of that duty of care to you could result in an accident and you may have a personal injury compensation claim.
There are over 18,000 personal injury applications in Ireland every year. Of the personal injury applications, 65% are for road traffic accidents, 20% are for Public Liability claims, and 15% are for workplace accidents.
Hughes & Associates can look at your personal injury claim details to see if you have a valid compensation claim.

How long do you have to make a claim for personal injury in Ireland?
You have two years to make any claim for personal injury in Ireland—the two years to make a claim begin from the date of the personal injury.
You could also have a case of ‘date of knowledge’, which is the date you became aware of the injuries you experienced in the workplace, in a public place, due to medical negligence or in a road traffic accident.
In such cases, it could be more than two years later that a doctor traces the pain you are suffering back to the injury you sustained in the accident at work or on the road when knocked off your bike.
In all cases of personal injury, it is recommended that you begin your claim process as soon as possible after an accident. Making a claim as quickly as possible makes it easier to obtain evidence while your memory is fresh and the injury is more obvious.
Hughes & Associates Personal Injury Solicitors can help with all aspects of your personal injury claim.
