“5 ⭐️ service and customer service, used them once and wouldn’t use any other Solicitors again because they aren’t up to the same standards as Madden & Finucane. Professional every step of the way, great people, great building made to feel comfortable and at ease.”

Emmett Fhionnbharr O'Fhionnagainn

Madden and Finucane is regarded as one of the finest law firms in Ireland and quite rightly so. Any experience I’ve had with them has left me coming away very satisfied and the general vibe you get from this practice is that if you need representation or even just advice then you are being dealt with by the very best. When I approached ‘M&F’ about a legal matter I had I was dealt with in a very professional manner from beginning to end. As someone that knows only the basics of how things work in the world of law I was quite apprehensive about the matter I was having difficulty with but I was reassured from the very start and really felt safe knowing my case was being looked after by such a successful and knowledgeable firm. Highly recommended no matter what the case, Madden and Finucane will take care of it.

FAQs

‘Personal Injury’ refers to physical or psychological harm caused to a person. If you’ve sustained an injury you might be eligible to make a personal injury claim to seek compensation from those at fault. Our experienced personal injury solicitors handle everything from road traffic accidents to workplace incidents.

If you’ve sustained a personal injury that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation. Many people are injured during their daily activities due to someone else’s negligence. If this has happened to you within the last three years, you could make a claim. You must be over 18 to file a claim yourself, but a friend or family member can do so on behalf of a child.

To start a claim, contact our personal injury solicitors for free, no-obligation legal advice by completing our online claim form or calling 028 9023 8007. Our specialists will discuss your case and guide you through your options.

You’ll need evidence to support your claim, including medical records and possibly an independent specialist’s report. Other necessary evidence may include photographs of injuries and the accident scene, witness statements, police reports, and diagrams detailing the incident.

You generally have three years from the date of the accident to initiate court proceedings against the responsible party. There are exceptions, such as for children, who have until age 21 to make a claim. Even if your accident was some time ago, it might be worth considering a claim if you’re still receiving medical treatment for a recurring problem.

You may still recover some compensation even if you were partly to blame, though it will be less than if you were entirely blameless.

Common claims include:

  • Road traffic accidents
  • Professional negligence
  • Medical negligence
  • Accidents or illnesses abroad
  • Workplace accidents
  • Public place accidents

Compensation is split into general damages for pain and suffering, and special damages for financial losses incurred, such as loss of earnings, travel costs, and care costs. Each case is unique, and the final amount depends on various factors like injury severity and financial losses.

You don’t have to pay tax on personal injury compensation. UK law exempts typical personal injury damages, including loss of wages and medical bills, from tax.

Claims usually take from six months to two years to settle, depending on the case complexity. Straightforward cases may be resolved in a few months, while disputed cases can take longer to ensure all aspects are thoroughly addressed.

Most claims are settled without going to court. However, if necessary, court proceedings may be issued to get you the deserved compensation. Only about 3-5% of claims go to court.

Consult us before accepting any offer from the other side’s insurer. We aim to secure a better compensation amount through your claim.

A medical assessment is necessary to ensure all injuries are accounted for before making your claim.

This includes steps both parties must take before court proceedings, like issuing notification letters and addressing medical needs.

“No win, no fee” arrangements are unlawful in Northern Ireland and prohibited by the Law Society of Northern Ireland.

While the concept may seem helpful in theory, it has faced significant criticism for potentially limiting access to justice – particularly in cases considered high-risk or of low monetary value.

In Northern Ireland, more reliable and transparent funding options are available. We offer a variety of payment solutions tailored to each client’s specific circumstances. During a free initial consultation, our solicitors assess the merits of your case and provide advice on the most suitable funding method.

Some clients may be eligible for legal aid, while others may benefit from legal expenses insurance, which can cover the costs of an unsuccessful claim for a modest premium. more

There’s no reason to endure pain from an accident caused by someone else. Legally, you’re entitled to compensation if negligence or a duty breach can be shown.

Your employer cannot sack you for making a claim. Employers are legally required to have insurance covering workplace accidents.

You can claim for injuries suffered abroad, but act quickly as time limits can be short in some countries.

You can change your solicitor at any stage, though it’s best to do so early.

While possible, making a claim yourself can be complicated and time-consuming. Seeking legal advice greatly increases your chances of success and proper compensation.

We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation. If you choose us, you’ll benefit from the experience of one of Belfast’s leading personal injury law firms, known for securing substantial compensations for our clients.
