Road Accident Cases

A personal injury claim arsing from a car accident or road traffic accident are processed in the same way as other Personal Injury claims in Ireland. in this type of claim, the injured party must show that some other party is at fault for their injuries. In the case if a car accident claim, generally this occurs when another car collides into the car of which you are a driver or passenger.

We at Berwick Solicitors Galway have seen a wide range of injuries arising from such incidents such as back injury, shoulder injury, fractured ankles, fractured wrist, facial injuries, brain injuries etc. These injuries can have a detrimental effect to the life of the injured party as they may lead to an inability to work.

In order to bring a successful personal injury case, you have to prove that the owner or controller of the other vehicle was at fault. if possible, it is always a good idea to take a photograph of damage to vehicles in their position post-accident.

Claims for personal injuries sustained in a car accident are processed firstly through the Injuries Board and if they are not resolved, they may then proceed into the Court process. If you sustained a personal injury as a result of a car accident, you may be entitled to claim against the owner and / or driver of the vehicle and you should contact your personal injury solicitor for further advice on the matter.
