WHAT TO DO IN AN ACCIDENT
Our personal injury specialists are members of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. We are able to offer assistance with all types of personal injury claims, including:- accidents at work
- road traffic accidents
- tripping / slipping accidents
- accidents on holiday
- accidents in public places
- claims to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority on behalf of victims of crime.
In the event of your suffering an accident you should, as soon as possible:
- Seek medical help if injured
- If at work - report your case to your employer, enter it in the Accident Book
- Get witnesses names and addresses
- Obtain photographic evidence
- Write down what happened
- Keep a diary of events e.g. visits to GP and a note of all expenses incurred and financial losses sustained
- Contact us as soon as possible for a free initial consultation with an expert
Please note that although most claims are settled by insurance companies without the need to go to Court, if we need to issue Court proceedings, we must do so usually within 3 years of the accident.
Home visits are available if you cannot leave your home on account of your injury
