Road Traffic Accidents
Road traffic accidents happen suddenly but can leave lasting consequences. Whether you were injured while driving, walking, or cycling, you may be entitled to bring a claim if another party was at fault. At John O’Leary Solicitors LLP, we provide practical, personal legal advice tailored to your experience and recovery.
Types of Road Accident Claims We Handle
We act for drivers and passengers injured in crashes caused by speeding, distraction, poor road surfaces, or reckless driving. From minor collisions to major impact injuries, we help ensure your medical needs and financial losses are fully considered in your claim.
Taxi Accident Claims
Whether you were a passenger or hit by a taxi, we assist with claims involving negligent driving, sudden stops, or failure to observe traffic signals. Taxis must be roadworthy, properly insured, and driven with care.
Ambulances, Garda vehicles, or fire trucks must operate under strict road safety rules. We pursue claims where emergency services caused avoidable injury to road users, pedestrians, or passengers due to negligence or poor judgment.
Injured as a bus passenger or struck by one? We help clients claim against public or private bus operators when sudden braking, unsafe driving, or poor maintenance leads to harm.
Heavy goods vehicles can cause catastrophic injuries in road collisions. We support clients injured due to poor visibility, driver fatigue, overloading, or brake failure in commercial transport settings.
E-bike and e-scooter users face unique dangers from poor road markings, distracted drivers, and faulty rentals. We pursue claims on behalf of both riders and pedestrians injured by these devices.
Cyclists are especially vulnerable on Irish roads. We handle cases involving car dooring, unsafe overtaking, potholes, or failure to yield—securing compensation for injuries, damaged bikes, and lost income.
Crosswalk collisions, roadside impact, or pavement driving can cause serious injuries. We represent pedestrians hit by negligent drivers, with a focus on rehabilitation and long-term support.
Motorcyclists often suffer severe injuries in road collisions. We act in cases involving speeding, blind-spot errors, poor road conditions, and lack of driver awareness of motorbikes.
Whiplash is a common but disruptive injury, often resulting from rear-end collisions. We help clients document their pain, treatment needs, and impact on work and daily life.
If you were injured by an uninsured driver or in a hit-and-run, we help you make a claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau of Ireland (MIBI), ensuring access to fair compensation.
