Make an enquiry →Meath recorded eight road deaths in 2025, according to provisional Road Safety Authority figures, and Navan is the county's main employment centre. This guide covers the roads, workplaces, hospitals and courts that matter if you are hurt in or around the town.
Make an enquiryMeath had eight road deaths in 2025, according to provisional Road Safety Authority figures. Navan has fewer local jobs than working residents, according to Meath County Council, so many residents commute out by car or on the express bus to Dublin.
The M3, which opened in 2010, runs past the town towards Dublin and Kells. The N51 links Navan with Slane and the M1, and the R147, the old N3, still carries traffic between Navan, Dunshaughlin and Kells.
If another driver caused the crash, the claim is made against their insurer. If the driver was uninsured or can't be traced, the claim can be made to the Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland (MIBI). Read how car accident claims work.
Yes, if your employer, or someone else at work, was at fault. Meath County Council lists retail, IT and professional services, public administration, education and manufacturing as the town's main sectors. Its business parks add logistics and medical devices, and mining is a local employer on the edge of the town.
Mining and factory work bring risks from heavy machinery, vehicles and falls, and warehouse work from forklifts and lifting. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires every employer to manage these risks, and the Health and Safety Authority enforces it. Read how accident at work claims work.
Most personal injury claims must first go to the Injuries Resolution Board, which assesses them. This step does not apply to medical negligence. If either side doesn't accept the assessment, the claim can go to court.
The District Court hears claims up to €15,000 and the Circuit Court personal injury claims up to €60,000. For County Meath, the Circuit Court sits in Trim. Larger claims go to the High Court at the Four Courts in Dublin, and most claims settle without a full hearing.
Our Lady's Hospital in Navan has a 24-hour emergency department for anyone aged 16 and over. Check hse.ie for the current position before you travel. Navan is in the HSE Dublin and North East health region.
You can ask for your hospital records under data protection law, usually at no cost and within a month. A record made soon after the accident is useful evidence.
No. Our nearest office is on Ormond Quay Upper in Dublin 7, about 50 km from Navan and around 50 minutes by car on the M3. Most claims can be handled by phone, email or video.
No. The same rules apply across the State, so a crash in Meath, Dublin or anywhere in between goes through the Injuries Resolution Board in the same way. What matters is who was at fault. Note the junction or nearest exit, as it helps when asking for the Garda report and any CCTV.
That depends on whether your employer, or another contractor on site, was at fault. Report the injury on site and make sure it is recorded. Ask whether the accident was reported to the Health and Safety Authority, as its findings can be useful evidence.
No. The emergency department at Our Lady's Hospital Navan is for people aged 16 and over. The HSE lists the emergency department at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda as open to all ages, 24 hours a day. In an emergency, call 112 or 999.
Usually two years from the date of the accident, or from when you first knew you were injured, if that is later. For a child, the two years start on their 18th birthday. It is still best to get advice early, while evidence such as CCTV and witness details is available.
No. There are no upfront fees. Before you go ahead, we give you clear written terms explaining how legal costs work, as section 150 of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 requires. Read No Win No Fee explained.
