Road Traffic Accidents

MacGinley Quinn Solicitors LLP provide legal advice and representation to clients that have been injured in road traffic accidents as a result of someone else’s fault. If you have suffered an injury because of a road traffic accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation.

 

The first step will be an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board (PIAB). Clients need to collect a number of vital details in order for them to correctly pursue a road traffic accident compensation claim. After an accident, you should get the details of the driver who has caused the accident and contact the Gardaí. You must also seek medical assistance for any injuries sustained and you should report the incident to your insurance company.

 

Any road user injured through the fault of someone else may have the basis of a claim.


This is true for all road users not at fault in the road traffic accident, including:

  • Bus Passengers

  • Cyclists

  • Drivers

  • Motorcyclists

  • Passengers

  • Pedestrians

The specialist road traffic accident team at MacGinley Quinn Solicitors LLP have years of experience helping clients with their road traffic accident claims. We will work with you to achieve the best possible result.
