Our Legal Expertise
We represent clients in a wide range of personal injury and insurance law cases. Below are the main areas in which we specialise.
Road Traffic Accident Claims
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident in Belfast, Dublin, or elsewhere, we can help you secure compensation for injuries, vehicle damage, and financial losses.
We represent:
-
Drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
-
Victims of hit-and-run accidents.
-
Motorcyclists, who often suffer the most serious injuries.
Because we work across both NI and ROI jurisdictions, we are particularly well-placed to assist in cross-border accidents — for example, if your accident occurred in the Republic of Ireland but you live in Northern Ireland (or vice versa).
Accidents at Work
Employers have a duty to keep workplaces safe. Unfortunately, many fail to uphold these obligations, leading to accidents and long-term injuries. We assist clients injured by:
-
Defective machinery or unsafe tools.
-
Slips, trips, and falls in the workplace.
-
Injuries caused by inadequate training or safety equipment.
-
Manual handling and lifting accidents.
We also advise on claims for work-related stress, bullying, and other employment-related harm.
Slips, Trips & Falls
Public places should be safe for all, but inadequate maintenance or negligence can cause accidents. We represent clients injured in:
-
Supermarkets and shopping centres.
-
Restaurants, pubs, and hotels.
-
Public footpaths, roads, and car parks.
-
Private premises where owners failed to prevent hazards.
Medical Negligence
When medical professionals make mistakes, the consequences can be devastating. Our medical negligence team has the knowledge and experience to guide clients through these complex claims, including:
-
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.
-
Surgical errors.
-
Negligent treatment in hospitals or GP practices.
-
Birth injuries to mother or child.
-
Prescription errors and medication mistakes.
We approach these cases with both legal expertise and sensitivity, ensuring clients and their families feel supported.
Hearing Loss & Industrial Disease
Personal Injury Solicitors in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland know that our citizens have long industrial traditions, and many workers are still suffering the effects. We represent clients suffering from:
-
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) caused by exposure to loud machinery.
-
Asbestos-related illness (asbestosis, mesothelioma).
-
Vibration White Finger (VWF) and Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS).
-
Respiratory diseases caused by workplace dust or chemicals.
Insurance Law & Disputes
This is where Lacey Solicitors truly stands apart. We are not only specialists in personal injury – we are also recognised experts in insurance law. We are proud to act for insurers, MGAs, brokers, and policyholders across Ireland, the UK, and beyond.
Your insurance company may appoint us to defend you in your time of need, whether that means protecting you after a road traffic accident that was not your fault, or supporting you as an employer facing a claim from an employee. Insurers trust us to defend their policyholders because we combine deep insurance expertise with a practical, client-focused approach.
Offices in Belfast & Dublin — Dual Jurisdiction Expertise
Most law firms operate in one jurisdiction only. Lacey Solicitors is different. With offices in both Belfast and Dublin, we can:
-
Provide clients with local expertise wherever they are based.
-
Handle claims arising in either Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
-
Represent clients in cross-border cases, where an accident or dispute involves both jurisdictions.
-
Advise on differences between Northern Irish, Irish, and EU law as they apply to personal injury and insurance disputes.
Bearing in mind the size of the island of Ireland, for many clients – particularly those who commute, travel, or work across the border – this dual presence is invaluable.
Frequently Asked Questions for Personal Injury Solicitors in Northern Ireland & Ireland
How long does a personal injury claim take in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland?
We will use our best efforts to progress your matter as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is difficult to accurately predict how long a legal matter will take to resolve. Progress is often dependent on the response times and cooperation of all parties involved.
In Northern Ireland, most uncomplicated cases resolve within 6 to 12 months. However, more complicated personal injury claims may take longer to conclude. This depends on a number of factors including:
- The seriousness and duration of your injury;
- Whether liability is admitted early;
In the Republic of Ireland our speed is determined by the Circuit that we issue proceedings in, how quickly your claim is processed by the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB) and whether formal legal proceedings become necessary.
The IRB is an independent statutory body in the Republic of Ireland that assesses compensation for personal injuries arising from public liability, workplace accidents, or motor claims.
Do you offer “no win, no fee” arrangements?
Unlike England and Wales, Personal Injury solicitors in Northern Ireland cannot legally offer no win, no fee agreements. Any solicitor in NI doing so is breaking the law.
At Lacey Solicitors, we ensure everyone has fair access to justice. Our transparent fee options include Legal Aid or legal expenses insurance, so you only pay a small premium if a claim is unsuccessful.

What evidence do I need for a claim?
Accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and photographs are all helpful. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything – we can obtain much of the evidence on your behalf.
