Helping you claim compensation after car and road accidents across Northern Ireland
Legal support to help you secure compensation after a road traffic accident.
If you’ve been injured in a road traffic accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the pain, disruption, and financial loss you’ve experienced. Whether you were driving, a passenger, a pedestrian, a cyclist, or simply a bystander, our Road Traffic Accident Solicitors are here to assess your claim and guide you through the process from start to finish.
At Doris & MacMahon, we have decades of experience handling all types of road accident claims across Northern Ireland. We understand the stress and uncertainty that can follow an accident and provide clear, practical support to help you move forward with confidence. Our goal is to secure the maximum compensation available as efficiently as possible.
Car, Motorbike & Vehicle Collisions
We act for clients involved in all kinds of road collisions, including:
- Rear-end impacts
- Junction and roundabout accidents
- Head-on collisions
- Multi-vehicle accidents
- Motorbike and scooter claims
We gather evidence, liaise with insurers, obtain medical reports, and work to build the strongest possible case.
Passenger Claims
Passengers almost always have the right to claim compensation, regardless of who was at fault. We assist with claims involving:
- Cars, taxis, and private hire vehicles
- Buses and public transport
- Friends or family vehicles
- Accidents caused by uninsured or untraced drivers
Our team ensures your rights as a passenger are fully protected.
Pedestrian & Cyclist Accidents
Pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and injuries can often be serious. We help with claims involving:
- Collision with vehicles
- Unsafe road conditions
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Failures to give way
- Poor road layout or maintenance
We work sensitively and proactively to support your recovery and compensation claim.
Uninsured & Untraced Drivers
If you were involved in an accident with a driver who was uninsured or fled the scene, you may still be able to claim through the Motor Insurers’ Bureau (MIB). We can assist with:
- MIB Uninsured Driver claims
- MIB Untraced Driver claims
- Gathering evidence where the driver cannot be identified
- Ensuring your claim is processed correctly
These cases can be complex, early legal advice makes a real difference.
Whiplash & Soft Tissue Injuries

- Proper medical assessments
- Access to physiotherapy or rehabilitation
- Compensation that reflects the impact of your injuries
Symptoms can worsen over time, so it’s important to seek advice early.
Serious & Long-Term Injuries
If your accident caused severe or life-changing injuries, we provide support for claims involving:
- Brain injuries
- Spinal injuries
- Serious fractures
- Permanent disability
- Loss of mobility or long-term pain
We work with experienced barristers and medical experts to build a comprehensive case that reflects the long-term impact on your life.

Compensation covers more than just physical injury. You may also be entitled to claim for:
- Loss of earnings
- Medical and rehabilitation costs
- Travel expenses
- Damage to your vehicle
- Future care needs
- Impact on your day-to-day life
We prepare a detailed schedule of losses to ensure your claim is fully valued.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I can make a claim?
If the accident was fully or partly someone else’s fault and you suffered injury, you may be able to claim. We can assess your case quickly.
How long after an accident can I make a claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. Claims for children have different rules.
Do I need to go to court?
Most claims settle through negotiation. Court is only necessary when liability is disputed or settlement cannot be reached.
How much compensation will I receive?
This depends on your injury, recovery time, impact on work, and associated costs. We will advise on a realistic settlement range once we understand your case.
Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?
Yes, possibly. Your compensation may be reduced, but you may still have a valid claim.
Do I have to deal with the insurance company myself?
No. We handle all communication with insurers, medical experts, and other parties on your behalf.
