One of the most common causes of personal injury accidents in Ireland are road traffic and motor car accidents. That's not surprising when the number of cars on Irish roads has trebled since the 1970s.
You may be unfortunate enough to have been involved in a motor car crash or road traffic accident.
If you were unlucky enough to have been involved in a car accident which involved a Hit and Run driver or an Uninsured driver, you can make a personal injury compensation claim to the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland. Their role is to compensate victims of road traffic and car accidents caused by uninsured and unidentified vehicles.
If you have been injured in a road traffic or motor car accident - and the accident was caused by someone else who breached another road user’s duty of care - you may be entitled to make a motor car accident compensation claim or personal injury compensation claim, for the injuries and losses which you have suffered as a result of the motor car accident.
The most common type of injury receiving compensation for road traffic accidents are whiplash, back and spinal injuries. In serious injury cases, you may be able to claim compensation for medical bills, loss of earnings and compensation for personal suffering.
Your injury is most likely to have been caused by being involved in a road traffic accident as a driver, pedestrian, motorcyclist or pedal cyclist. In these cases, your personal injury claim for compensation would be made against the insurance company of the person driving the vehicle which collided with you.
Alternatively, if you were injured as a passenger in a car or on a motorcycle, you may make a claim against the insurance company of the person who was responsible for the accident. This might be the driver of the vehicle you were in or the driver of another vehicle.
