Comprehensive answers to common questions about workplace accident claims and your employment rights under Irish law.
If you have a workplace accident, take these important steps:
These steps will help protect your legal rights and strengthen any potential compensation claim.
No, your employer cannot lawfully dismiss you for pursuing a legitimate compensation claim. Dismissing an employee for making a workplace accident claim constitutes unfair dismissal under Irish employment legislation.
If your employer attempts to dismiss you or treats you unfairly because of your claim, you may have additional grounds for legal action including unfair dismissal proceedings.
Irish law does not mandate employers to provide occupational sick pay beyond a limited period, though many employers include such provisions in employment contracts. You should review your contract for specific entitlements and your entitlement to any social welfare payments.
Your compensation claim will include lost earnings for both past and future periods, ensuring you are not financially disadvantaged by your workplace injury.
Compensation varies significantly depending on injury severity, impact on your life, and financial losses. Current Personal Injuries Guidelines provide these ranges:
We will provide a realistic assessment based on your specific circumstances during your free consultation.
You may still pursue a claim under "contributory negligence" principles. Even if your actions partially contributed to the accident, you can recover compensation provided your employer bears primary responsibility for the incident.
Your compensation would be proportionally reduced by your percentage of fault, but you would still receive substantial damages if employer negligence was the main cause.
No, you will not have to pay to bring a claim for compensation. In accordance with Section 68 of the Solicitors Act 1994, "A solicitor shall not act for a client in connection with any contentious business on the basis that all or any part of the charges to the client are to be calculated as a specified percentage or proportion of any damages or other moneys that may be or may become payable to the client."
