Personal Injury* Solicitors
Personal Injuries* Claims and Representation
The goal of personal injury* compensation is to restore the victim, as much as possible, to their pre-injury state. This legal principle ensures full compensation for the harm suffered, and our personal injuries* team has extensive experience making sure clients are compensated in full.
Our preference is always to achieve a fast and fair settlement, but we work with clients on both settlements and litigation, typically representing them against insurance companies, the Injuries Board (PIAB), and employers.

Making an Injuries Resolution Board Claim
Previously called PIAB, the Injuries Resolution Board is the first stop for all injury claims other than medical negligence. More than 90% of all applicants to the Board engage a solicitor to represent them and advise them through the process. McGarr Solicitors have recognised experience and a proven record of success in representing injured people through this process.
Solicitors in Ireland are not allowed to charge a no win, no fee basis for IRB claims. Instead, we charge a transparent flat fee, which means you will know upfront the costs for the entire process.
There are two major issues for anyone who has been unlucky enough to be involved in a Road Traffic Accident. The first is to address their immediate out-of-pocket expenses, such as repairs to damaged cars or immediate medical expenses. Our approach is to seek to address those urgent Special Damages with insurance companies first, even where the longer term disputes cannot be amicably agreed.
The second common issue us that sometimes injuries, particularly whiplash injuries, do not become immediately apparent. Or it may be that their significance emerges over time. We have worked with clients to bring cases right up to the two year statute date.
Whether through lack of training, inappropriate equipment, or a bad work environment, workers can be injured in their workplace through no fault of their own. McGarr Solicitors was built on the expertise of our Principal Solicitor’s knowledge in this area, having written Deadly Wages, Ireland’s first-ever guide to personal injury claims for workers.
We have a proven track record of delivering expert guidance and compassionate support while successfully handling complex cases, ensuring our clients receive the compensation they deserve for a wide range of workplace injuries.
