Hit By Falling Object Claims
Hit by a falling object at work? You may be entitled to compensation.
Being struck by a falling object is one of the most common and serious workplace injuries in Dublin and across Ireland. Whether you’ve been hit by tools, building materials, equipment, or stock falling from shelves or scaffolding, your employer has a legal duty of care to protect you. If they’ve failed in that duty, you have every right to make a claim.
At WorkClaims.ie, we help injured workers in Dublin pursue the compensation they deserve. From initial consultation to settlement, we guide you through every step of the claims process. Our team understands the physical, emotional, and financial toll a falling object injury takes, from head and neck injuries to broken bones, concussion, and long-term disability. We work on a no win, no fee basis, so there’s no financial risk to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much compensation can I claim for a falling object injury?
It depends on the severity of your injury. Minor injuries such as bruising or soft tissue damage can settle for €10,000 to €20,000, while more serious injuries like skull fractures, spinal damage, or permanent disability can reach €60,000 to €100,000+. We assess your case for free and give you an honest estimate.
How long do I have to make a claim?
You generally have two years from the date of the accident to make a claim. It’s best to start early while evidence and witness accounts are still fresh.
Will making a claim affect my job?
No. It’s illegal for your employer to penalise or dismiss you for making a legitimate workplace injury claim. Your employment rights are fully protected.
Do I need to pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a no win, no fee basis. You won’t pay a cent unless we successfully secure compensation for you.
