Personal injury solicitors in Waterford

Clear legal advice on personal injury matters

At Peter O’Connor & Son LLP, we provide clear and practical legal advice to clients in Waterford and the wider south east on personal injury matters.

A personal injury issue can arise in many different circumstances, including an accident at work, an accident in a public place, a road traffic accident, a fall, an incident at home or another situation where negligence, breach of duty or breach of statutory duty may be relevant.

We help clients understand the legal process, the information that may be required and the options available to them. Our approach is professional, practical and grounded in clear advice.

Personal injury legal advice

Our experienced legal team can advise on matters involving:

• Accidents at work
• Accidents in public places
• Accidents at home
• Road traffic accidents
• Slip and fall matters

Each case depends on its own facts. We take time to understand what happened, explain the relevant legal considerations and advise on the appropriate next steps.

Injuries Resolution Board matters

In Ireland, many personal injury matters must first be submitted to the Injuries Resolution Board unless they have already been settled directly with the other party or insurer. The Injuries Resolution Board is the State body that deals with the resolution of personal injury claims.

We can advise on the legal aspects of this process, including the information that may be required, the importance of medical evidence and the steps involved where a matter does not resolve at that stage.

Advice for plaintiffs and defendants

We advise both plaintiffs and defendants in personal injury matters. This may include individuals, businesses, insurers, employers, public bodies or organisations that require legal guidance on liability, procedure, evidence or dispute resolution.

Whether you are bringing a matter forward or responding to one, we aim to give clear advice on the legal position and the practical issues involved.

Why early advice matters

Personal injury matters can involve strict time limits, medical evidence, correspondence with insurers, statutory procedures and detailed documentation. Seeking legal advice early can help ensure that the correct steps are taken and that important information is not missed.

Our role is to explain the process in plain English, help you understand your position and provide legal advice tailored to your circumstances.
