Accidents At Work

Work Accident Compensation Solicitors in Dublin & Nationwide*

If you have been injured in an accident at work without fault, you may be entitled to make a work accident compensation claim in Ireland*. Anderson & Gallagher LLP is a centrally based Dublin personal injury law firm *with decades of experience guiding employees through the Injuries Board (PIAB) process and, where necessary, the Irish courts. We understand the physical impact of workplace injuries and the financial strain that follows when wages stop and medical bills rise.

Your Right to a Safe Workplace

Irish health-and-safety legislation states that every employee is entitled to a safe place and system of work. When an employer breaches that duty through faulty machinery, inadequate training, poor housekeeping, or pressure to ignore safety rules, you may pursue compensation for pain, suffering, loss of earnings, future care, and related expenses. Because “sick pay” is not automatically guaranteed, an accident at work can quickly create financial hardship; a well-prepared claim helps bridge that gap and secures support for rehabilitation. Our personal injury solicitors* will review your accident report, medical records, and witness statements, then build a robust case for the best possible outcome.*

After an Accident - Evidence and Medical Care

Report the accident to your supervisor immediately and insist it is logged in the company’s accident-report book; sign the entry and request a copy for your records. Seek medical attention immediately, even for seemingly minor injuries, so an independent clinical note is created. Keep every receipt linked to treatment, travel, or equipment, and jot down details of the scene, including photographs if possible. These simple steps form the backbone of a successful workplace-injury claim* and allow us to present clear, persuasive evidence to insurers and, if required, the court. Should your injuries worsen, timely GP visits and updated medical reports will document that progression and strengthen your case.*

A heartfelt thank you to Anderson & Gallagher LLP Solicitors

I would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Anderson & Gallagher LLP for their exceptional professionalism and for achieving such an excellent result in my case.

A special thank you to Vladimir, who responded when I first reached out and offered his help, and who supported me throughout the different stages of the process.

I am also very grateful to Noel for his professionalism and legal expertise.

And a very special thank you to Keira O’Reilly, whose professionalism, experience and determination resulted in an excellent settlement in my favour.

After almost three years of a long and difficult process, my case has finally come to an end. This means a great deal to me personally. Thank you to the whole Anderson & Gallagher team for your professionalism, hard work and for helping me bring this chapter to a close.

I would especially recommend Anderson & Gallagher to Ukrainian and Polish people living in Ireland who may need professional legal assistance. Having a reliable and experienced legal team can make such a difference when you are navigating a difficult situation in another country.

Thank you again to the entire team.

I would like to sincerely thank Anderson and Gallagher Solicitors for their outstanding support and professionalism throughout my case. From the very beginning, I felt that I was in good hands.

A special thank you to solicitor Robert Anderson , who handled everything with great care, knowledge and professionalism. He always took the time to explain each step clearly and made me feel informed and supported at all times.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Krzysztof Socha, who was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. His support meant a lot to me — he always responded to my questions, kept in touch, and made the whole process much less stressful.

Thanks to both of them, everything went smoothly and I am extremely grateful for their help. I highly recommend Anderson and Gallagher Solicitors to anyone looking for trustworthy and efficient legal assistance.

Thank you again for everything!

I’d like to share my feedback about this company. Thank you for your help and for your prompt response. The attorney was always in touch and helped me resolve a difficult situation. I live in another country, yet they provided me with excellent support and guided me through the entire case. I highly recommend this firm! They communicate respectfully and answer every question with care. Thank you so much!
- Валерія Єрмоліна
As much as I’m very pleased with the outcome of my case I have to admit I need few days more to finally realise the case is closed and I can move on.

Back in January I have sent email “ Few words of appreciation “ where I have prised your professional approach to my case. From that point in time I knew the whole team no mater of the outcome will help me to close this 5 years long chapter. For the final closure I’m extremely grateful to Keira, Noel, Paul and Wlad. Many thanks to Richard and Liam for going above and beyond and delivering the best possible result for me.

Personal Injury* Process Step by Step

Understanding the Claims Process 

Step 1
Get in Touch
Your journey begins with a simple phone call or online enquiry. You can contact us by calling 1800 200 618, emailing info@andersongallagher.ie, or filling out our Online Claim Enquiry Form. We’ll take some initial details and arrange a consultation with one of our experienced personal injury* solicitors.
Step 2
Personal Consultation
During your first meeting, we’ll take a detailed statement about your accident and injuries. We’ll explain your legal options clearly and advise you on the most appropriate course of action , all in plain English, with no legal jargon. We also offer support in Polish and other languages, so you can feel confident and fully informed, no matter your background.
Step 3
Building Your Case
Once instructed, we begin gathering key evidence to support your claim. This includes medical reports, accident reports, photographs, witness statements and any records of financial loss. We ensure your case is fully prepared before submitting it to the Injuries Resolution Board or proceeding to litigation if necessary.
Step 4
Submitting Your Claim
We submit your personal injury* claim to the Injuries Resolution Board. If they agree to assess your case, they may appoint an independent medical expert. Both you and the respondent (usually their insurer) will receive a formal assessment of your entitlement to compensation*.
Step 5
Resolution or Court Proceedings
If both parties accept the Injuries Board assessment, the claim settles, and compensation is paid. If either party rejects the assessment or if the respondent declines to participate, we may initiate court proceedings on your behalf to pursue a fair settlement.
Step 6
Settlement & Support
When your claim is successfully resolved, we ensure prompt payment of your compensation*. We also advise you on any future medical, financial or legal steps you may need to take. Our team remains available to support you even after your case concludes.
