Injury Law Solicitor in Kilmacthomas

Falls, road incidents and workplace injuries reported from around Kilmacthomas

Most of the enquiries we get from this area fall into a small number of categories. Road traffic collisions on the routes connecting Kilmacthomas to Waterford city, Dungarvan and the surrounding villages account for a good share of calls, along with falls on uneven footpaths, farmyard accidents and injuries picked up at work, whether on a building site, in a shop or in an agricultural setting. We also hear from people who have been hurt playing sport locally, or who were injured while a student, and from people who believe they were the victim of a crime.

Medical negligence enquiries tend to be different in character. They usually come later, sometimes months after treatment, once someone has had time to question whether something went wrong with their care. Whatever the type of claim, the circumstances always decide how it is approached, and we would rather hear the detail from you directly than guess at it from a general description on a website.

Starting a claim: what we ask for and how the process unfolds

Getting in touch is the first step, and it does not commit you to anything. We will ask you to describe what happened, when, and what injuries or losses resulted. Where there is documentation, such as medical records, an accident report, photographs or witness details, it helps to gather whatever you have, though we understand that people do not always have everything to hand straight away.

From there we build up the file: establishing the facts, checking what evidence is available, and advising on the legal position based on the circumstances and current law. Time limits can apply to personal injury and medical negligence matters, and these depend on the specifics of the case, so it is worth raising your situation with us sooner rather than later so we can advise accordingly.

Working with clients across Kilmacthomas, Portlaw, Fenor and Ballinroad

Kilmacthomas falls within County Waterford, and we work with clients across this part of the county without expecting anyone to come to an office to get started. Portlaw, roughly 12 kilometres away, Fenor at about 14 kilometres, and Ballinroad a little further still, are all areas we hear from regularly, and the same approach applies whether you are in the town itself or one of the surrounding townlands.

Richard O’Shea handles matters for clients in this area, and contact is arranged through the website rather than through a local office, since our premises are in Kilkenny and Dublin. That arrangement works well for people in Kilmacthomas, who can deal with us by phone, post or video call, and meet in person where that suits the matter better.
