Advice on accidents at work, injury claims and your employment rights.
An injury at work can affect your health, income and confidence about returning to your job. Crushell & Co advises on the legal issues arising from workplace accidents, including responsibility for the accident, the claims process and related employment concerns.
We assist with enquiries involving slips, trips and falls, unsafe lifting and manual handling, machinery accidents, falling objects and other workplace hazards. Each enquiry requires an assessment of how the incident happened, the injury sustained and the evidence available.
An accident at work does not automatically establish a right to compensation. The circumstances, responsibility for the accident and the connection between the incident and the injury must be examined.
Seek appropriate medical attention and tell your employer about the incident. Ask that the accident is recorded. Keep a clear account of what happened, together with photographs where available, witness details, correspondence, medical records and receipts. Retain records of time away from work and any loss of earnings.
Early advice can help identify the relevant parties, preserve evidence and clarify the steps required before a claim is made.
Most workplace personal injury claims are first submitted to the Injuries Resolution Board, unless settled beforehand or an exception applies. An application generally requires a medical report and supporting information. Depending on the circumstances, the process may involve mediation or an assessment; unresolved claims may proceed to court after the necessary authorisation.
Compensation can include an amount for the injury itself and documented financial losses. The outcome depends on the medical evidence, the applicable guidelines and the facts of the claim. See the Injuries Resolution Board’s explanation of its process.
We can also examine concerns about absence, return-to-work arrangements and treatment following a health and safety complaint. Injury compensation and employment-law complaints may involve different legal tests, procedures and deadlines.
If you believe you have suffered retaliation for raising a safety concern, read our guide to penalisation at work.
Time limits apply, so seek advice promptly rather than waiting for your recovery or an internal investigation to finish. We will review the circumstances and explain the relevant process, legal fees and other costs before you decide to proceed.

I fully recommend Barry and his team. Barry's services are of the highest quality and he achieved an extraordinary outcome on my behalf. He also has integrity, and I clearly saw the value of his services every step of the way, which means that he has earned my trust. I also appreciate Tracy who made it possible to arrange time sensitive meetings quickly. Thank you, Barry and team

Dealing with Barry and his team over the past couple of months has been an absolute pleasure. Not once did he try to take advantage in any way and always made sure I had the best information to deal with the problems ahead of me. I would recommend this law firm in a heartbeat to anybody seeking legal advice.

As an ex Sgt in the Defence Forces I was unfortunate to have met this man too late for him to progress my case but I wish I had sought his advice earlier. I would recommend any serving or vet to contact Barry as his knowledge of Irish and military law is outstanding. Thank you Barry and all your staff
