If you have suffered an injury as a result of a construction accident in Ireland please make sure to seek medical assistance at the earliest possible opportunity. Remember, your health always comes first, because no amount of construction accident compensation can make up for having to deal with lifelong health issues.

Negligence and Duty of Care

In Ireland, if the construction accident isn’t completely your fault, you are entitled to make an injury claim. However, in order to protect your rights and receive what you are entitled to, you should always get the best advice about how to make your construction accident claim from an experienced solicitor.

A critical issue to understand about construction accidents in Ireland, is that they do not always have to be due to a direct action of an employer. Employers have a duty of care towards their staff, which means that if  the employer did not take the necessary precautions required to protect their employees, then this will be considered "contributory negligence", and the employer will almost certainly be liable for all or part of the construction accident claim.

Common Construction Accidents

Accidents involving construction machinery commonly cause severe injury in Ireland. In some cases the machinery was unsafe, or a fellow worker was careless. Sometimes inadequate training was given in the safety procedures.

Holes in the ground, dangerous ladders, slippery substances on the ground or stairs, trailing cables, discarded construction waste on the floor, excessive noise, inadequate ventilation or protection from fumes, are all examples of hazards which commonly cause construction accidents .

In any one of these incidences, it is highly possible that in Ireland you would be able to make a successful construction accident claim.  However in many cases, construction workers in Ireland who make an injury claim settle for an amount that does not truly compensate them for the suffering or loss they experience.
