Statistics from Journal.ie reveal that of the 177 serious or fatal collisions from 1st November 2024 to 6th January 2025, 16 of these were hit and run incidents

Paul Tracey, who specialises in helping victims of road traffic accidents said of the statistics:

“It is quite disturbing to see the number of hit and run incidents on the rise in Ireland. In our firm we have helped numerous clients over the years who have been injured from hit and run accidents, so we see first-hand the devastating impact they have on people’s lives.”

“As well as the injuries, there’s always a sense of injustice in someone not facing up to the consequences of what they have done, and this can leave an additional mental trauma on victims,” he said.

Paul urged those who are involved in road accidents to always remain at the scene.

“In particular, if your mistake has caused a collision, take responsibility, and never leave the scene of an accident. The consequences of a hit and run are much higher, for everyone involved.”

If you have been injured from a hit and run accident, we can help you to make a personal injury claim through the Motor Insurers Bureau of Ireland (MIBI) to seek compensation for your injuries and their impact on your life.

There are certain timelines within which steps need to be taken to protect your right to compensation in hit and run cases so it is important to take legal advice as soon as possible.
