Road Traffic Collisions (RTC) Claims

Road traffic collisions can have devastating consequences, resulting in serious physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Whether you were a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist, if you have been injured due to the negligence of another road user, you may be entitled to compensation.

At Ó Muirigh Solicitors, we provide expert legal representation for those affected by road traffic collisions, ensuring they receive the financial support needed for their recovery.

Legal Responsibilities & Road User Duty of Care

All road users, including drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians, have a legal duty to exercise reasonable care to prevent accidents. When someone breaches this duty—through reckless driving, speeding, or failing to follow road safety laws—they may be held responsible for the injuries and damage they cause.

  • Cyclists & Motorcyclists
    Road users who are particularly vulnerable to serious injury in collisions.
  • Public Transport Users

  • Victims of Hit-and-Run & Uninsured Drivers
