What is an accident at work claim?

When an individual sustains injuries at their workplace due to the negligence or oversight of their employer or colleagues, they may be entitled to compensation. A personal injury solicitor can initiate a civil action against the responsible party or organisation to obtain this compensation.

Typically, if the claim is successful, the employer’s insurance company will be responsible for providing the compensation to the injured party.

Accident at work claims limitation period (time limit) in Ireland

You have a two-year window from the date of the workplace accident to begin legal proceedings. However, there are certain circumstances that may alter the start date and we can advise you on these.

Unfortunately, some people are not aware that there are time restrictions for filing a work accident claim, and as a result, some cases may become ineligible for compensation.

Do not delay seeking legal advice.
