Pedestrian Accident Claims

Pedestrians can be anyone using the road, or footpaths near a road, when either out walking or jogging.

You may have been walking on or near a footpath, or attempting to cross a road, when struck by a motor vehicle.

Pedestrians are very vulnerable road users and we recognise the trauma that people can have when struck by a motor vehicle.

If you have suffered an injury following an accident as a pedestrian on or near a road we can act as your personal injury solicitor.

We can assist you during the personal injury claim, either by acting for you directly in discussions with the other party’s insurance company, or representing you with an application to the Personal Injuries Assessment Board.

    What Our Clients Say?

    I would highly recommend Downes Solicitors , especially Dermot McKeon, as they are extremely reliable, professional, informative and punctual at what they do. They helped me through a difficult work accident claim which ended up being successful in the finish which I sincerely appreciate.
    Rachel O’Sullivan
    I suffered a slip & fall accident and injured my knee when I fell. I contacted Downes Solicitors in Dublin to seek advice on whether or not I had a case. This was the best decision I made as I was re-assured that I had a good case. David Ryan took over my case & in all my dealings with David I found him to be very professional. He kept me updated regularly by e-mail & by phone. My court case was in November 2014 & it came to a successful conclusion as it was settled out of court. I firmly believe that I got this settlement as a direct result that I was represented by David Ryan of Downes Solicitors.  I have no hesitation in highly recommending David.

    Personal Injury : Your Top Questions Answered

    Q
    How long can a personal injury claim take?
    AYour claim length will depend on a number of factors such as; your type of injuries, the insurance company your dealing with, your PIAB application, the assessment and then whether you move on to legal proceedings.
    Q
    How much compensation will I be entitled to?
    AThat figure is hard to immediately determine. The book of quantum can help to give you some indication but the other factors that will be taken into consideration are:

    • Liability: who was at fault for the accident.
    • Injuries: the severity of the injuries
    • Expenses: all of the bills that were paid.
    Q
    Will my claim go to court?
    A Every case is different. In the majority of personal injury cases, the person making the claim will not end up in a courtroom.

    It is possible that the person at fault will seek to settle outside of court and your case will be settled in a meeting attended by you, your solicitor, and barrister to negotiate your settlement.

    It is entirely up to you whether to accept the settlement offered. If you do not accept then it will move to a court hearing where a judge will decide how much your settlement will be.
