As the county town of Kildare, Naas has a steady flow of people asking the same question: who do I call about an injury that wasn’t my fault. An injury law solicitor in Naas does not need to have premises on the Main Street to act for you properly, what matters is whether the firm understands the area and is set up to deal with clients here without adding to the stress of an already difficult time.
The kinds of accidents people in Naas usually ask about
A good deal of what we hear from this part of Kildare involves road traffic collisions, whether that’s on the roads in and around Naas itself or further out towards Sallins and Caragh. We also deal with workplace injuries, falls in shops or car parks, and injuries connected to sport or to school and college activity, since Naas has a fair spread of clubs and student life running through it.
Every one of these situations turns on its own facts. How an accident happened, what was recorded at the time, and what medical treatment followed all shape whether a claim is appropriate and how it should be put together. We don’t offer opinions on the strength of a claim before we’ve looked at the detail, and we’d encourage anyone to be wary of a solicitor who does.
Starting a claim: the information that helps us most
Once you contact us, we’ll ask you to talk us through what happened in your own words and to gather whatever documentation exists already: an accident report, correspondence with an employer or insurer, photographs if you took any, and details of any medical attention you received. None of this needs to be polished or complete before you reach out, we can help you work out what’s missing.
From there, the file builds over time. Medical reports need to be requested, timelines need to be checked, and any formal notifications have to be handled correctly and within the relevant time limits, which depend on the circumstances and current law. We’ll explain each step as it comes up rather than asking you to take it all in at once.
Naas, Sallins, Caragh and Clane: the area we work across
Naas sits close to Sallins, about 3 kilometres away, with Caragh a little further out at around 4 kilometres and Clane around 8 kilometres from the town, all within Kildare’s local authority area. We take instructions from clients across this part of Kildare in the same way regardless of which town or townland they’re writing to us from.
Our firm, Injury Law Solicitor, part of Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors, has offices in Kilkenny and in Dublin 7, and matters are handled by Richard O’Shea, solicitor. Clients in Naas and the surrounding area deal with us by phone, email or post as suits them, and meetings can be arranged where that’s useful to the case.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to an office to make a claim?
No. We work with clients across Naas and the wider Kildare area by phone, email and post, and arrange meetings where that helps. Our offices are in Kilkenny and Dublin 7, but that doesn’t affect how we handle a claim for someone living in Naas.
How long do I have to bring a claim after an accident in Naas?
Time limits depend on the type of claim and the specific circumstances, and the current law sets out different rules for different situations. It’s best to get in touch as soon as you can so we can advise on the position in your case.
What should I bring to a first conversation about my injury?
Anything you already have is useful: an accident report, correspondence with an employer or insurer, photographs, or medical notes. If you don’t have all of this yet, we’ll talk you through what to gather and how.
