COMPENSATION FOR CLIENT INVOLVED IN HEAD ON CAR ACCIDENT


Posted in News on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026

Jody Cantillon and the Litigation Team at Cantillons Solicitors recently obtained significant compensation for a client who suffered injury, loss and damage arising from a head on car crash.

Our client was driving along the road when all of a sudden a car, travelling in the opposite direction came onto her side of the road impacting with her car, and causing significant injury, loss and damage.

The matter was referred to the Injuries Resolution Board (previously the Personal Injuries Assessment Boad). PIAB made an assessment (put a value on the claim) but we advised our client that the compensation was inadequate and that the offer should be rejected. Our client took our advice and thereafter, a High Court Personal Injuries Summons issued.

The case ultimately settled for significant compensation (considerably higher than that offered by PIAB) without our client having to go to Court.

* In contentious business, a Solicitor may not calculate fees or other charges as a percentage or proportion of any award or settlement.  Many Personal Injury Solicitors portray themselves as “no win no fee Car Accident Solicitors Cork” or “no win no fee Solicitors Dublin”. This term can be misleading and it is essential that you discuss fees with the Personal Injury Solicitor you ultimately choose. At Cantillons Solicitors, we are entirely transparent.
