If you were injured while travelling as a passenger, whether in a friend’s car, a taxi, a bus, or any other vehicle, Kearney Law can assess your case, explain your legal rights, and guide you through the claims process with no upfront fees.
A passenger injury claim is a personal injury claim made when you were hurt in a road traffic accident while not being the driver. As a passenger, you are rarely responsible for the accident, which means you may be entitled to compensation if you suffered any form of injury.
Passenger injury claims often arise when the accident was caused by:
If the accident was not your fault (and it rarely is as a passenger), you have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries and related losses.
Even if symptoms appear later, it’s important to seek medical attention and speak to a solicitor.
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.
We have extensive experience helping passengers injured in cars, taxis, buses, minibuses, and public transport. We understand the unique legal considerations involved and provide clear, strong guidance tailored to your case.
We help clients in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Letterkenny, and throughout Ireland. Whether you prefer to speak in person, by phone, or online, our solicitors are always within reach.
We explain your options in straightforward language, so you know exactly where you stand. From start to finish, we keep you updated and make sure you understand each step of the claims process.
