People living around Rosslare, whether near the harbour, in Broadway about 6 kilometres away, or further towards Wexford town itself, sometimes assume that getting proper legal advice after an injury means travelling to a city office. An injury law solicitor in Rosslare case can be handled without that being a barrier, since Richard O’Shea at Injury Law Solicitor works with clients from across County Wexford and takes instructions by phone, post or video call as well as in person where that suits better.
Road, workplace and public-place injuries we hear about from this part of Wexford
Rosslare’s location on the south-east coast means the injury queries we hear tend to reflect the area’s mix of traffic, tourism and working life. We deal with road traffic collisions on the routes connecting Rosslare to Wexford town and Bridgetown, accidents in workplaces including farms, hospitality businesses and the harbour area, and injuries that happen in shops, car parks or on footpaths where a local authority or a business may have failed to keep a space safe.
We also advise on medical negligence claims and on claims from people who have been the victim of crime, as well as sports injuries and injuries affecting students, since these matters arise in this area just as they do anywhere else. Every situation is different, and what matters most is understanding the circumstances before any view is formed on how a case might proceed.
Contacting us and what happens before any claim is formally started
The first step is usually a conversation about what happened, when it happened and what, if any, medical or other records already exist. It helps to have dates, the name of any other party involved, and details of where an accident occurred, but if you do not have all of this to hand at first contact, that is not unusual and it can be built up afterwards.
From there we explain what the next steps would look like for your particular situation, including what information or documentation is usually needed and what timeframes may apply. The position on time limits and on what a claim involves depends on the individual circumstances and on the law as it currently stands, so this is addressed directly with you rather than assumed in advance.
Serving Rosslare, Broadway and the south-east Wexford coastline
Rosslare sits roughly 9 kilometres south-east of Wexford town, with Broadway close by and Bridgetown a little further west, all within the area we regularly work with clients from. We do not have an office in Rosslare itself, our offices are in Kilkenny and in Dublin 7, but that has no bearing on how a claim from this area is handled, since most of the initial work is done by phone, email or video call regardless of where a client is based.
Where a face-to-face meeting is useful, that can be arranged to suit, but plenty of clients in Rosslare and the surrounding towns prefer to deal with matters remotely from start to finish. Either way, the same approach is applied to a claim from this part of County Wexford as to any other.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Dublin or Kilkenny to make a claim from Rosslare?
No. Most initial contact and instruction can be handled by phone, email or video call, and an in-person meeting can be arranged separately if that would be more helpful for your situation.
What should I bring to a first conversation about a possible injury claim?
It helps to have a rough timeline of what happened, any medical records or reports you already have, and contact details for anyone else involved, but you do not need everything gathered before getting in touch.
How long do I have to bring a personal injury claim in Ireland?
Time limits depend on the type of claim and the specific circumstances, and the current legal position should be checked for your situation rather than assumed. We can go through this with you once we understand what happened.
