Struck By Falling Object Claims

Falling Object Claims

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 explain the applicable legal fees and other costs before you decide to proceed.

We manage every stage of your claim:

  • Assessing whether you may have a valid workplace injury claim
  • Gathering medical records, accident reports and witness accounts
  • Reviewing storage, lifting practices and workplace safety procedures
  • Submitting your claim correctly and within the relevant time limits
  • Guiding you through negotiations or court proceedings if required

Time limits apply—in most cases, a claim must begin within two years of the accident or date of knowledge. Seek advice early.

Why Representation Matters

Proper representation helps ensure your claim is brought correctly, supported by clear evidence and submitted on time. We protect your interests and work to achieve the best possible outcome.

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 and give you an honest estimate.

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.

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.

There are no words to be able to describe Barry and the team. They are professional, compassionate and they go above and beyond for their clients. They know exactly what they are doing and from the first meeting you feel a sense of relief and confidence that you are in the right hands. They collect all the documents 24hrs in advance so when you have your consultation they know exactly what to talk about.

I reached out to Barry recently, his team were impressively prompt and had a meeting lined up within as soon as possible which brought a sense of relief with just that small action alone. Throughout my engagement with Barry, he explained everything with detail and to the point to ensure there were no stones unturned. He handled the matter with confidence and assurance.
