Road Traffic Accident Solicitors Belfast
Injured in a road traffic accident? Our solicitors can advise you on making a compensation claim.

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.
