Maura Hurley Solicitors & Co. Solicitors offer advice on the full spectrum of personal injuries solicitors. 

If you are a member of An Garda Síochána and have sustained an *injury during the course of your duties, you may be entitled to compensation. Two groups of individuals are eligible to apply for compensation under the Garda Acts:

   

  1. Members of An Garda Síochána who sustained *personal injuries (not causing death) maliciously inflicted upon them in the performance of their duties or acting in their general capacity as a member when off duty or merely because of their being a member of An Garda Síochána. Please note trainee Gardaí who have not completed phase IV of their training are not eligible under the Acts.
  2. Dependents of deceased members who were *fatally injured while on duty or while acting in their general capacity as a member or merely because of their being a member of An Garda Síochána. Section 3(1) of the Garda Síochána (Compensation) Act 1941 states that the following dependants may be awarded compensation: the widow, children, step-children, parents, siblings, half brothers or sisters, grandparents of the deceased member or adopted children under the age of 21 years who were supported, maintained and educated wholly or partially by the deceased person.
