Our Process

How We Handle Your Claim

1. Initial Consultation: We start with a free, no-obligation consultation where we listen to your story, assess your case, and explain your legal options. This can be done in person at our Dublin office, over the phone, or via video call—whatever is most convenient for you.

2. Case Investigation: If we take on your case, we immediately begin gathering evidence. This includes obtaining medical reports from your GP or treating physicians, collecting witness statements, reviewing accident reports, and consulting with medical or technical experts when necessary.

3. Injuries Board Filing: For most personal injury claims (excluding medical negligence), we file your claim with the Injuries Board (formerly PIAB). We handle all the paperwork, ensure deadlines are met, and present your case in the best possible light.

4. Negotiation & Settlement: We work diligently to negotiate the maximum compensation for your injuries, lost income, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Many cases settle at this stage, providing you with compensation without the need for court proceedings.

5. Court Representation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we're fully prepared to represent you in court. Our experienced solicitors will present your case compellingly and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What You Can Expect

  • Transparent Communication: Regular updates on your case progress
  • Expert Medical Assessments: We arrange independent medical examinations when needed
  • No Hidden Fees: Clear explanation of all costs involved
  • Personalized Attention: Direct access to your solicitor
  • Timely Resolution: We work efficiently to resolve your claim as quickly as possible
