Personal Injury Claims Process​

At McMahon Goldrick Solicitors, we prioritise making the personal injury claims process as seamless and stress-free as possible for our clients.

Step 1: Initial Contact and Case Evaluation

• Initial Consultation: Reach out to us and speak directly with a dedicated solicitor from McMahon Goldrick. Your case will receive a thorough evaluation.
• Time Sensitivity: Adults over 18 must file an injury claim within 2 years minus 1 day from the injury date, with limited exceptions. If the injured person is a child, a parent or guardian can file a claim anytime before the child turns 18. After turning 18, the young adult has the same 2 years minus 1 day timeframe to file a claim independently.

• Make A Note Of The Incident: If you can, you should write down all the details that you can recall in respect of when and how the injury occurred. This can be a particularly difficult exercise to do after experiencing such a traumatic event, but it will be of benefit to your claim. It will assist your solicitors with the process of taking your formal instructions. A loved one can help with this exercise.

  You should make a note of the following:

  • What you were doing on the day of the accident or injury
  • The timing of those activities
  • How the accident occurred
  • Who you were with
  • What medical services you immediately received, etc.
   

  The sooner you write down those details the better.
