Road traffic accident claims

A road traffic accident can result in physical injuries, time away from work, medical or rehabilitation costs and, in more serious cases, long-term care needs. A claim may arise where another road user or other responsible party caused the accident through negligence.

You do not need to have been driving to make a potential claim. O’Hare Solicitors can advise drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other road users who have been injured in an accident in Belfast or elsewhere in Northern Ireland.

Can I make a road traffic accident claim?

If you have been injured in a road traffic accident that was not your fault, you may be able to pursue a claim for compensation. Establishing how the accident happened and who was responsible will be an important part of assessing the claim.

Examples can include being hit by another vehicle, being injured as a passenger, being struck while crossing the road, a rear-end collision, a hit-and-run accident or an accident involving an uninsured driver.

What can a road traffic accident claim include?

Depending on the circumstances, a claim may take account of the injury itself together with financial losses and expenses caused by the accident. These may include loss of earnings, treatment and rehabilitation costs, care requirements and future expenses arising from a serious or long-term injury.

Common road traffic accident injuries

Road traffic accidents can cause injuries ranging from cuts, bruising, soft-tissue injuries and fractures to serious head, spinal or internal injuries. Some people may require lengthy rehabilitation or ongoing care, while the most serious accidents can result in fatal injuries.

Where an accident has resulted in a death, the deceased person’s family may also need advice about whether a claim can be pursued.

How much compensation could I receive?

The value of a road traffic accident claim depends on the individual circumstances. Relevant factors can include the nature and severity of the injuries, recovery time, the effect on employment and day-to-day life, treatment and rehabilitation requirements, and past or future financial losses.

Our solicitors can assess the circumstances of the accident and its consequences when advising on a potential claim.

Hit-and-run and uninsured driver accidents

Being involved in a hit-and-run accident, or discovering that the other driver was uninsured, does not necessarily mean that there is no route to compensation. O’Hare Solicitors can advise you on the options available based on the circumstances of the accident.

I couldn’t recommend Andrea Bell enough, as a first time house buyer I was pretty clueless to the whole process. Andrea guided me through, responded to my emails extremely quickly put my mind at ease and didn’t make me feel silly with all my questions. She made a process that could have been very stressful very easy. Thank you!

If I could rate Andrea any higher than 5 stars I would. Andrea Bell helped me with the sale and purchase of my new home. Andrea was fabulous to work with, she was never too busy to answer any questions I had and kept me up to date throughout. She went over and beyond working tirelessly to ensure I completed and get into my new home during these challenging times. I can't thank her enough for all of her help. I would have no hesitation in working with Andrea again in the future and would recommend her to everyone for any conveyancing needs!

Myself and my young daughter were recently in a car accident and subsequently put in contact with O’Hare Solicitors. Naill O’Hare dealt with personal injury claims for both of us. Naill could not have made the process any easier, taking all the necessary steps and keeping in contact with me at every stage. Even during the recent lockdown situation Niall took the time to contact me with updates whilst working remotely. Naill was very helpful and professional throughout the entire process and negotiated great settlements for both of us in an extremely timely manner. I would have no hesitation in using Niall and O’Hare Solicitors again and would highly recommend to all.

I cannot recommend Andrea Bell and O'Hare Solicitors highly enough. My husband and I used Andrea for both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house. Although our intended house purchase fell through, and we had to start again looking for a new home, Andrea pulled it all together for us and kept us focused through all the turmoil. Andrea is also the reason that today, coming out of lockdown we are in our new home 3 months. She worked tirelessly to get contracts signed, funds confirmed and keys exchanged while every company was shutting down and the country was going into lockdown. A true professional.

Can't Thank Andrea Bell and Gemma White enough for the help and guidance they have given me during the purchase of my first home. Professional and quick to reply to messages and answer any questions, they made the process easy. Would recommend to anyone seeking a conveyancing service.

— Nat Creighton

A professional team on top of their game who will take you by the hand and guide you through the legal system and achieve the best outcome for you the client. I have used many local law firms for various reasons and found Colm Owens and his colleagues to be leagues ahead, totally transparent easily contactable and always deal with you in a friendly down to earth manner but not afraid to show their teeth when the pressures on in a court of law. Would highly recommend if you want someone in your corner with both guts and integrity.

— Sam Davidson

Absolutely without doubt the best legal service I have received over the years. Andrea Bell provides a flawless guidance that will easily meet and exceed anyone’s expectations. Purchasing a property through the turbulent past few months, Andrea went above and beyond to steady the process. I can wholeheartedly recommend O’Hare and indeed Andrea.

— Tony Batt

Gemma White was fantastic support in helping me with the purchase of my new home. Always at hand and answered my queries promptly with professionalism and warmth. Would definitely recommend.

Andrea Bell was our solicitor who dealt with both the sale of our old home and purchase of our new home. Andrea was fabulous to work with, she was never too busy to return a call and answer any questions and was quick to respond to emails. She made sure the process was as smooth and stress free as possible. I would have no hesitation in working with Andrea again in the future and would recommend her for any conveyancing needs.
