Compensation
Claims
Morgan McManus has a Litigation Department experienced
in Insurance and Personal Injury Claims in both Northern
Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The Firm acts for
both insurers and claimants.
We have many years of experience in Claims involving
Road Traffic Accidents, Employment Accidents and Medical
Negligence.
As a result of recent legislative developments in the
Republic of Ireland we must refer you to the separate
link pages.

Because of our experience in cross border litigation,
we have particular experience in contentious claims
involving decisions on where Claims should be initiated
- for the advantage of our clients:
Case Studies
• Client
was injured in a road traffic accident in Northern Ireland.
The driver of the vehicle was from the Republic of Ireland.
A claim may be issued where the accident occurred or
where the Defendant resides. We advised issue of Proceedings
in the Republic of Ireland where the client was likely
to obtain more compensation.
• Car
owner's wife, who was driving, and children were involved
in a car accident in Northern Ireland. Neither driver
accepted responsibility and in the circumstances it
was necessary to fight the case in Northern Ireland
where we had the benefit of the Police evidence for
the Court Hearing. We issued proceedings in respect
of the car damage claim only (in the husband's name)
in Northern Ireland, won our client's claim in that
jurisdiction and, in turn, issued personal injury claims
on behalf of the wife and children in the Republic of
Ireland Courts.
P.I.A.B.
With the advent of the Personal Injuries Assessment
Board and other legislative developments which may limit
the entitlement of victims to issue claims in the Republic
of Ireland, we are able to advise clients in the Border
Region of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
on whether they should claim in Northern Ireland or
the Republic of Ireland in order to maximize the level
of their award.
