If you slipped, tripped, or fell on a public pavement or pathway in Dublin, you may be entitled to compensation—even if the accident seemed minor at first. Kearney Law can help you claim compensation with no upfront costs.
A pavement or public pathway fall claim is a type of personal injury claim made when unsafe conditions on a public walkway cause an accident. This could involve uneven or broken paving slabs, potholes, loose kerbs, or poor maintenance by the local council or property owner.
If you were injured because those responsible failed to keep walkways safe, you may be owed compensation for medical costs, lost income, and the pain caused by the accident.
Even if you didn’t report the injury right away, we can still help. Contact us for advice today.
Contact us through our enquiry form, phone, or email. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain what to expect next. There’s no upfront fee to begin your claim.
Your case will be carefully reviewed by our legal team. We assess the strength of your claim, advise on the documentation needed, and guide you through key steps such as attending an independent medical examination and preparing the information required for the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB).
Once you decide to move forward, we take care of everything. This includes gathering evidence, contacting the other party or their insurer, submitting your claim to the IRB, managing settlement discussions, and handling any court proceedings if needed.
You won’t need to pay anything to begin your claim. We’ll manage the process from start to finish and only proceed if you’re happy.
