Accident at Work Claims In Ireland
In Ireland, employers are statutorily obliged to provide a safe and conducive work environment for their employees. Additionally, various regulatory bodies, such as the Health & Safety Authority (HSA), are responsible for workplace health and safety laws to minimise workplace accidents.
McMahon Goldrick Solicitors acknowledges the unique circumstances surrounding each workplace accident claim. We are committed to delivering personal attention to ensure comprehensive settlements that cover immediate healthcare costs. We also look to accommodate any long-term consequences, such as loss of earnings and ongoing medical care.
It is understandable to worry about the repercussions of filing a claim against your employer. However, Irish law protects employees against unfair dismissal for making legitimate accident at work claims in Ireland. We assure you that claims are generally addressed through the employer’s insurance, reducing the direct impact on the employer-employee relationship.
Testimonials From Our Clients
McMahon Goldrick Solicitors, Dublin are endorsed by Spinal Injuries Ireland to act on behalf of its members and also represents the Organisation itself.
I worked with Ralph for 22 years and it was a pleasure to do so. He has acted for Spinal Injuries Ireland and its members since 1993. He has acted as an advisor to the Board, been a member of the Fundraising Committee and also the Transitional Housing Programme Committee. Integrity and professionalism are assured and it is these qualities combined with his experience and indeed that of his Partner Jessica Goldrick that gave me total comfort when referring members to him. They go about their work with a total empathy for the member and of course this is also of crucial importance. I cannot recommend Ralph and Jessica highly enough.
Ralph, the first thing on my ‘to do’ list was to email you to say a big thank you to you and to Jessica for all the support you gave to me over the past year.
I received a stellar service from your firm and most particularly Jessica who was a delight to deal with. While the outcome was beyond my expectations, so too was the service I received from your firm. I will be in touch with Jessica separately to thank her

Understanding Workplace Accident Claims
At McMahon Goldrick, we recognise that employees place their trust in employers to maintain a safe working environment. Employers have a legal and moral obligation to ensure the health and safety of their workforce, a responsibility that is critical for the wellbeing of their employees, the smooth operation of their business, and their overall reputation.
Employer's Responsibility for Safety
All employers, regardless of their size or the nature of their business, are required to conduct comprehensive risk assessments covering every aspect of their operations, including car parks, vehicles, premises, and warehouses. Identified health and safety risks must be addressed through appropriate control and mitigation strategies to either eliminate or significantly reduce dangers.
A variety of measures are available to employers for managing these risks, such as developing and implementing safety policies and procedures, conducting staff training, providing personal protective equipment (e.g., safety goggles and ear protectors), installing machine safety guards, deploying clear signage for risk awareness, and rotating job roles to prevent repetitive strain injuries like vibration white finger or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Managing health and safety risks is a significant responsibility for both private and public entities, mandated by law. If you have been injured at work due to your employer’s negligence or failure to act, you might be eligible to pursue a claim for compensation for your suffering and losses.
Can I Lose My Job if I Bring a Workplace Injury Claim Against My Employer?
Concerns about job loss for filing a workplace injury claim are understandable but unwarranted. Such an act could potentially be viewed as unfair or constructive dismissal, which employers are keen to avoid to prevent reputational damage.
Businesses are insured for workplace accident claims, to cover workplace injuries. The insurance company usually handling the case rather than the employer directly. If you have suffered physically, emotionally, and financially because of your employer’s negligence, seeking legal recourse is not only reasonable but ensures accountability and potentially prevents future workplace injuries and accidents.
What Compensation is There for a Workplace Accident Claim?
Compensation claims for work accident injuries can cover:
- Pain and suffering caused by the injury,
- Specific financial losses incurred or anticipated due to the injury, including but not limited to transport, accommodation, medical treatment, physical therapy, and ongoing care costs.
The compensation awarded is tailored to the specifics of the injury and the workplace accident claim at hand.
